Episode 028: Scarlet Street (1945)

Each episode I travel six feet under and pry open a coffin of one of my favorite Hollywood corpses and perform a post watch examination of one their forgotten films. This marks the first episode in the series of Cunning, Crafty, Conniving Charlatans, in which I examine films that spotlight the swindling ways of some of my favorite Hollywood Con Artists. In this episode I uncover the corpse of Joan Bennett to dissect the 1945 Fritz Lang noir picture, Scarlet Street. I am joined by my fellow classic corner, Dr. Ashley Jane Carruthers to autopsy character actor, Edward G. Robinson.
