Title: Joan Bennett Double Feature on Now
Post by: Philippe Cordier on May 29, 2020, 06:01:50 AM

Wish I had seen this earlier or at least post this earlier. Turner Classic Movies just aired "Woman in the Window" and is now close to winding up "Scarlet Street." Joan Bennett is great as the femme fatale in both films, directed by Fritz Lang. The latter was banned in New York and elsewhere for immoral indecency.

If only I hadn't fallen behind in reading my email, we would have known earlier because of a Google Alert I received on the 28th to this:

TONIGHT’S OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
CULT CHOICE
Joan Bennett and Edward G. Robinson co-star in “The Woman in the Window” (10 p.m., TCM, TV-G) and “Scarlet Street” (11:45 p.m., TCM, TV-PG). Both films are directed by Fritz Lang and concern a naive good man caught up in the schemes of a seducer. Bennett’s career ranged from the silent film era to the television cult hit “Dark Shadows.” In her last screen role, she played an ominous witch in Dario Argento’s 1977 slasher masterpiece “Suspiria.”
