The UK Premiere of the brand new 4K restoration of Fritz Lang’s 1945 film noir masterpiece starring Edward G. Robinson and Joan Bennett.

When meek middle-aged Chris Cross (Edward G. Robinson) rescues street-walking bad girl Kitty (Joan Bennett) from the rain slicked gutters of an eerily artificial back lot of New York's Greenwich Village, he plunges headlong into a whirlpool of lust, larceny and revenge.

As Chris's obsession with the irresistibly vulgar Kitty grows, the cashier is seduced, corrupted, humiliated and transformed into an avenging monster before implacable fate and perverse justice triumph in the most satisfyingly downbeat denouement in the history of American film.

This UK Premiere of the brand new 4K restoration restores Fritz Lang’s extravagantly fatalistic 1945 vision to its former glory.

With thanks to Kino Lorber and The Library of Congress. Presented in collaboration with BFI Film Audience Network and Film Noir UK.
