Cashier and part-time starving artist Christopher Cross is absolutely smitten with the beautiful Kitty March. Kitty plays along, but she's really only interested in Johnny, a two-bit crook. When Kitty and Johnny find out that art dealers are interested in Chris's work, they con him into letting Kitty take credit for the paintings. Cross allows it because he is in love with Kitty, but his love will only let her get away with so much.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A desperate man's infatuation with a calculating woman sets him on an inexorable descent into moral degradation and murder. Scarlet Street is a masterwork of psychological noir that tracks how love becomes complicity, and then criminality, with unflinching fatalism.
