The Woman in the Window (1944): Fritz Lang, Edward G. Robinson and Joan Bennett


     Directed by Fritz Lang, The Woman in the Window (1944) was one of the films that caused the genre to be labeled "Film Noir." The story concerns a psychology professor who gets mixed up with a Femme Fatale, and an escalating situation begat by murder. Fritz Lang's surprise twist ending is Classic.  Edward G. Robinson and Joan Bennett are great in the lead roles. The supporting cast is wonderful as well, including Raymond Massey and Dan Duryea.
