Directed by Fritz Lang, House by the River (1950) was panned by critics upon it's initial release, but has seen a resurgence of admiration in recent years. The story concerns an author who strangles his pretty young maid after she turns down his advance, and then attempts to hide the body by dumping it in the river. Full of Victorian period detail, the the cinematography is stark, dramatic and brilliant. The cast is great, including Lois Hayward, Lee Bowman and Jane Wyatt.
