Note that if the plot of this movie seems remarkably familiar, it is because Fritz Lang remade it in 1945 as Scarlet Street, which is another exceptional movie! This movie was considered too rough for 1931 U.S. audiences, and Lang's remake toned down the story quite a bit. Famed French director Jean-Pierre Melville said he wanted to do a remake that would be faithful to the original, but sadly, this was never made. This movie was finally released in the U.S. in 1975, 44 years after it was made! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
