Yeah, both Lang & Robinson were at their very best in this film, which in turn resulted in a great work of film noir. Unfortunately I haven't seen La Chienne, but given your strong recommendation for the film, I'll surely try to get hold of it sooner or later.

I still give the edge to Renoir's masterpiece LA CHIENNE as far as this story goes, but SCARLET STREET pushes close. I recently got a chance to see it yet again on the big screen and all the discussion resumed again! Ha!<br /><br />Wonderful re-cap and analysis here!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
