The Woman in the Window

Part of Fritz Lang in America

His family packed off to Maine, Professor Richard Wanley is anticipating some quiet time alone. Then he meets Alice, the model for a portrait he admires, and can't resist her offer of a drink.

No sooner do they get to her place, however, than her jealous boyfriend arrives in a rage. Richard kills him in self-defence, and they decide to hide the body.

Things go smoothly until Richard's D.A. friend invites him to tag along on the investigation of his own crime.

'The Woman in the Window is a humdinger of a mystery melodrama' - Bosley Crowther, New York Times
