Trama
Sposato a una megera, anziano cassiere e pittore dilettante s'innamora di una prostituta che spinta dal suo protettore gli vende i quadri come se fossero suoi. La uccide, ma è condannato l'altro. Rifacimento di La chienne (1931) di Jean Renoir che era tratto da una pièce di George de la Fouchardière, ma Lang, aiutato da un'ottima sceneggiatura di Dudley Nichols, ne ha cavato qualcosa di originale: una storia psicologica con un magico sottofondo da incubo.AUTORE LETTERARIO: George de la Fouchardière
Le cose che fa agli uomini possono finire solo in un modo: con un omicidio!
