Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A Window in London is a 1940 British Thriller film directed by Herbert Mason, starring Michael Redgrave, Paul Lukas and Sally Gray.Crane operator Peter Thompson (Redgrave) is travelling to work on a train when he happens to see a man stabbing a woman through the window of an apartment. He frantically disembarks and leads a police constable into the apartment, only to find that it was a down-on-his-luck illusionist, Zoltini (Lukas), and his assistant-wife, Vivian (Gray), rehearsing a stunt. The publicity that this brings to the incident gives Zoltini a chance to relaunch his career. However, Zoltini's insane possessiveness about Vivian causes him to suspect that she is having an affair with Thompson, and when Vivian runs away with Thompson's assistance in the middle of Zoltini's comeback performance, he won't let her go so easily...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Damsel in Distress: The whole plot is driven forward by Thompson's desire to help Vivian, whether it is by saving her from being "murdered" or by acting as her getaway when she makes up her mind to leave Zoltini. Fittingly, the US release was titled Lady in Distress.

Crazy Jealous Guy: Zoltini can't bear his wife so much as smiling at another man, and pushes away one of his performers for merely giving her an innocent, friendly hug.

Bookends: The main action begins with Thompson witnessing through the train window what he thinks is Zoltini stabbing his wife. The last scene shows Thompson travelling on the same train the next day, looking at Zoltini's apartment window, and feeling relieved that all is normal within...except that this time, Zoltini has in fact shot his wife dead, but her body can't be seen from the passing train as she is slumped on the floor.
