Scarlet Street (Episode 78) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky
1945's Scarlet Street reunited director Fritz Lang with stars Joan Bennett, Edward G. Robinson, and Dan Duryea and cinematographer Milton Krasner from the previous year's The Woman in the Window. Unlike that film however Scarlet Street ran afoul of censor board's across the country that objected to it's "obscenity," "indecency," "profanity," and "sordidness." Despite that, the film did well at the box office making back nearly three times it's budget. Dan and Vicky discuss this lesser heralded noir film and it's provocative stars. They also discuss the demise of Filmstruck, Dan's emotional visit to an immigration detention center and Vicky's Thanksgiving staycation. Recently seen includes Latin History for Morons, Bohemian Rhapsody, the Suspiria remake, Overlord, 1968's The Devil Rides Out, Pacific Rim Uprising, and series The Haunting of Hill House among others.
