Average Rating: 
Rating: - A nice version of a Fritz Lang masterpiece
This is another Fritz Lang masterpiece. I got this version as a gift and I am very please with it. A++++++++++++
In this remake of Jean Renoir's controversial 1931 film, La Chienne, Christopher Cross (Edward G. Robinson), a quiet, staid cashier and dedicated Sunday painter, feels consumed by passion for the first time in his life when he meets pretty, manipulative Kitty. The two become involved, but Kitty is really in love with petty crook Johnny. She keeps Christopher around simply ... Read More
Rating: - Ultimate Film Noir and possibly better than Orsen Welles, A Touch of Evil
The Lang direction and visual style is apparent on every frame, and the performance of Edward G. Robinson is among his best, and often strangely neglected.
For me, the essence of noir films has as much to do with the bleak outlook on human existence as it does the visual sense, and at the very beginning of this film, we see (IMHO) the single, most perfect noir moment: Chris Cross (Robinson) is given a dinner, a nice little send off for a nice little man.

Rating:  - Fantastic Fritz Lang Film Noir
This movie is another great film in the arsenal of Fritz Lang. Film Noir at its finest! Edward G.

Bored with his life, Cross gets tangled with Kitty and is soon stealing ... Read More
Rating: - More Great Fritz Lang
This is a disturbing movie, in many ways. Edward G. Robinson, who is superb, is a pipsqueak in a trivial job. He's married to an absolute virago and retreats from his relative career failure and his unhappy home life through his painting. Joan Bennett, also very good, humiliates him further and steals his creative name as well. Dan Duryea is sublimely creepy as her boyfriend.
It's gorgeously filmed and has a fine script. I have to say that I prefer Renoir's "La Chienne," on which it is a variation. ... Read More
