Chris Cross, 25 years a cashier, has a gold watch and little else. That rainy night, he rescues delectable Kitty from her abusive boyfriend Johnny. Smitten, amateur painter Chris lets Kitty think he’s a wealthy artist. At Johnny’s urging, she lets Chris establish her in an apartment (with his shrewish wife’s money). There, Chris paints masterpieces; but Johnny sells them under Kitty’s name, with disastrous and ironic results. (Bounty Films)

A delicately played love triangle involving blindly falling in love, lies, abuse and the loss of oneself and everything. Scarlet Street is unpredictable in its storyline and masterful in the portrayal of its characters, while the script is supported by great actors, whose absolute king is Edward G. Robinson. He will captivate you completely and you will look forward to every new scene with him. Robinson was a master of portraying emotions, the most sincere actor depicting the “heart on his sleeve” with facial expressions that I have ever seen in film. I add the fifth star for him.
