	The Woman in the Window	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Fritz Lang's 1944 Film Noir, one of the first films to be so called.Richard Wanley (Edward G. Robinson), a married, middle-aged psychology professor whose wife and children are away for the summer, falls in lust with a provocative portrait of a young woman. One evening the portrait's model, a budding Femme Fatale named Alice Reed (Joan Bennett), catches him ogling it and invites him up to her apartment. The two are interrupted by her boyfriend, who tries to strangle Richard, and Richard kills him in self defense. Now the two must try to quietly dispose of the body to avoid scandal, but are hampered by their lack of trust for each other. Complications include Richard's friend Frank (Raymond Massey), a district attorney who investigates the man's disappearance, and a crooked ex-cop (Dan Duryea) scheming to blackmail them both.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })See also Scarlet Street, the Spiritual Successor to this film, made one year later with the same director and same cast and a similar story.

	The Woman in the Window / int_ea85d6ea	comment	All Just a Dream: A textbook version. The whole plot is a dream of Richard's. Yes, even the many scenes he's not in. This ending was controversial at the time and has remained so ever since. Many sources say that Lang filmed this ending to conform to The Hays Code, but Lang insisted that the ending was his idea. It's worth noting that the Hays Code really wouldn't have required such an ending, as Richard punishes himself. When Lang made Scarlet Street the next year as a Spiritual Successor to this film, he didn't allow such an escape for Robinson's character.
