34. Directing a dark film noir.
The 1940s brought a lot of mystery to the big screens, with one of the most popular genres of the time being Film Noir. Director Fritz Lang loved working for his cast that included Joan Bennett (In the picture), Edward G. Robinson, and Dan Duryea so much in the film The Woman in the Window that he recast them for his next movie: Scarlet Street. The film is based on a French Novel called “La Chienne.” Scarlet Street was so dark and disturbing that it was banned in New York, Milwaukee, and Atlanta.
