The Woman in the Window

Claude Mazard (Arthur Loft) makes his only appearance, unexpected by Alice (Joan Bennett) and innocent visitor Professor Wanley (Edward G. Robinson) in this pivotal scene from The Woman In The Window, 1944.

Alice (Joan Bennett) serves a drink to the blackmailer Heidt (Dan Duryea) in Fritz Lang's The Woman in the Window, 1944.

Having committed no offense but justifiable homicide, Professor Wanley (Edward G. Robinson) leaves Joan Bennett (title character) with the body of her sponsor, flees New York to the north, and encounters a toll collector (Joe Devlin), Fritz Lang making it more than tense, in The Woman In The Window, 1944.

Opening doesn’t seem for a moment incidental, establishing Edward G. Robinson as composed professor Wanley, Dorothy Peterson his wife departing for the summer with the kids, Raymond Massey and Edmond Breon as his friendly colleagues, and a portrait of Joan Bennett, in Fritz Lang’s chilling The Woman In The Window, 1944.

Alice (Joan Bennett) finds Professor Wanley (Edward G. Robinson) admiring her portrait in Fritz Lang's The Woman in the Window, (1944).
