Scarlet Street (1945)
Chris Cross, 25 years a cashier, has a gold watch and little else. That rainy night, he
rescues delectable Kitty from her abusive boyfriend Johnny. Smitten, amateur painter Chris lets Kitty
think he's a wealthy artist. At Johnny's urging, she lets Chris establish her in an apartment (with his
shrewish wife's money). There, Chris paints masterpieces; but Johnny sells them under Kitty's name,
with disastrous and ironic results. - imdb.com
