Considered by many to be one of Fritz Langs best films, Scarlet Street was controversial and at the time of it's release was banned in some states. Edward G. Robinson plays a middle-aged bank cashier who is seduced by Kitty (Joan Bennett), a beautiful but devious woman who sees an opportunity to fund her lifestyle and that of her unscrupulous lover Johnny (Dan Duryea). The film is a powerful and often disturbing portrait of human relationships, emotions and consequences.
