DramaCrime

Cashier and part-time starving artist Christopher Cross is absolutely smitten with the beautiful Kitty March. Kitty plays along, but she's really only interested in Johnny, a two-bit crook. When Kitty and Johnny find out that art dealers are interested in Chris's work, they con him into letting Kitty take credit for the paintings. Cross allows it because he is in love with Kitty, but his love will only let her get away with so much.

VIBE

A suffocating, rain-slicked descent into obsession and despair. This noir classic drips with fatalistic dread, as a lonely artist's infatuation curdles into a tragic spiral of deceit and ruin. Every shadow feels heavy with impending doom.
