The great director Friedrich Christian Anton Lang, who came to Hollywood from Germany to escape Nazi persecution, made films in Hollywood that basically followed his German masterpiece "M is the Killer". This film "The Woman" "in the Window" is no exception, it is an early work of film noir. What's more interesting is that the story in this film is a story of a professor and a nightclub without girls, and such a story also appeared in the writings of a pioneer novelist in the 1980s. The style of the film is still very attention-grabbing. The indoor and outdoor scenes are mysterious and charming, which fully reflects the talent of Friedrich Christian Anton Lang and the style of a great director. However, the story of the film is far-fetched and confusing, which is also the limitation of the Hollywood business on Friedrich Christian Anton Lang.

Richard Wanley: [lecturing] The Biblical injunction "Thou shalt not kill" is one that requires qualification in view of our broader knowledge of impulses behind homicide. The various legal categories such as first and second degree murder, the various degrees of homicide, manslaughter, are civilized recognitions of impulses of various degrees of culpability. The man who kills in self defense, for instance, must not be judged by the same standards applied to the man who kills for gain.
