Description: Humble lowly bank cashier, tyrannised spouse, and amateur painter, Christopher Cross, finds an unexpected opening in his humdrum existence when he boldly comes to the aid of the blonde gold-digging femme fatale, Kitty March, attacked by her unscrupulous lover, Johnny Prince. Dreaming of a way out--and perhaps, a romantic idyll--the meek man lies about himself; however, so does she, but for a different reason: in the following days, Chris will fall under the temptress' spell in a sinister game of seduction, embezzlement, vice, and murder. Is this the decline of an honourable man after twenty-five years of impeccable service?

Thanks!
This may be Fritz's best Film Noir. The cast, direction and noir-ish ambiance are all outstanding. The final twist is the corker!
Keep 'em coming.
cheers!

Wow, great!!! Aren't there any subs though?

OnlyOldMovies.blogspot.com said...

Unfortunately there are no subs available, I found some that said they are for this movie, but when synchronizing them it appeared that they are for other movie...any other version or remake of this?

I sometimes pass-by your blog - which hosts links to great movies - and sometimes I find some real gems which I haven't seen. Unfortunately I can never unrar the movie. The unrar utility always tells me that I'm using the wrong password, which I know is the very title of your blog and is always written at the end of your posts. Am I missing something here?

Thanks anyway for your efforts.

Sincerely
Tango

Looks like a great movie, thanks so much. Found English subtitles, mais they're not synchronized.

Any idea where I could find a mac application that would allow me to do so? Many thanks in advance.

@Yves: nah... I'd synchronize it myself, but it's not a proper translation, it's one of those awful machine translations...

Unknown said...

Helo Gryzor, I just found http://www.allsubs.org/synchronize-subtitles
is it the machine you're telling me about? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'll try it anyway. If it's good, I will post it here...

Gryzor said...

No, this site just synchronizes subtitles (rather basic, but good!). What I'm saying is that the subtitles you found come from an automatic online translating machine, and if you go into the file and read the translation it's awful... quite useless, as it is!

OnlyOldMovies.blogspot.com said...

Exactly, subs that can be found on the net seems to be machine translation and cant be used unfortunately

Unknown said...

Sorry Gryzor about the subtitles. In this case, I guess there are no English subtitles for this movie... I'll keep looking anyway...
