Scarlet Street
The things she does to men can end only one way - in murder!
The Story
A timid cashier and Sunday painter throws away everything for a woman who only wants to use him.
Edward G. Robinson's Chris Cross rescues the alluring Kitty from a beating and tumbles into infatuation, never guessing she and her grifter boyfriend mean to bleed him dry. To keep her, Chris embezzles and looks away as his paintings are sold under Kitty's name to ringing acclaim. When her cruelty finally shatters him, a single violent act sends an innocent man to the chair and leaves the true killer to rot in unpunished, ruinous guilt.
