“It’s not murder… it’s art.”
Edward G. Robinson crushes it as Chris Cross – a meek cashier turned tortured artist. Joan Bennett sizzles as Kitty – a femme fatale who’d steal your soul between cigarettes. Dan Duryea oozes slime as Johnny, the manipulative boyfriend. And Fritz Lang (M, The Big Heat) directs this brutal descent into obsession, fraud, and murder with razor-sharp precision.
