MCT:May 28, 2008As bleak a noir as I've yet seen. The characters are sleazy and rotten as hell. A great example of where fake facades spiral out of control and destroys all who are involved. A lot more psychologically interesting than the average noir.

A great film noir by Fritz Lang starring the always brilliant Edward G. Robinson as a middle-aged man who becomes smitten with a nasty femme fatale (Joan Bennett). It's a shame that the version I viewed hadn't been restored as the film boasts some truly unique cinematography and use of soundtrack, particularly in its final scenes.

Pitch perfect noir. On of the best examples of the genre I can think of. It's no surprise it comes from a master of German expressionism: Fritz Lang.

A fantastic film noir from the man who pretty much invented film noir: the great Fritz Lang. Edward G. Robinson is terrific, and Joan Bennet is a femme fatale to end all femme fatales.

a sarcastic story of unrequited love interwined with triangled tension and deceiful absurdity. none of the three leads are mutually in love. chris(robinson)loves kittie but kittie(bennett) loves johnny....but johnny only loves himself. it's like circular food chain with the natural evil scheme of cruelty and relentless exploitations. gruesomely it's disguised in the name of love. as for robinson, contrary to his little caesar tough guy image in 30's, he plays a mild-mannered sap with preposterous naivety to allow himself being consumed piece by piece without conscious. it's also some black humor within his gullibleness, a sort of bitter pleasure to witness a man's downfall but you can't help but be callous about his tragedy. appropriate fodder for cynicists even with the spoiling minor-taste of cliched predictability. (you could foretell his doom within the 30 mins you watch the flick.)
