Woman in the Window

Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, and Dan Jourier in The Woman in the Window. Ladies and gentlemen, your guest producer, Mr. Mark Hellinger. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Some years ago, I produced a picture called Brother Ockett, starring Edward G. Robinson in one of those gangster roles he made so famous.

During the making of that film, Eddie expressed for me an ultimate desire to put down his revolver is revolver and interpret characters of more varieties, quote, well, he has such a role tonight. He's a quiet and scholarly professor in the unusual drama, The Woman in the Window, from international studios, produces of tomorrow as forever.

Not for very long, however, does he lead the calm, scholastic life. Because we throw across his path a strange but fascinating woman, then add a homicidal maniac who precipitates a murder and bring you a most exciting melodrama, one of Hollywood's greatest successes of 1945.

Coast art in our cast, from one of the fairest oldest most respected families, is Joan Bennett. Also, Dan Durya, who was hurried West from his native New York City to be with us in tonight's play.

Now, from coast to coast, the curtain rises on the woman in the window, starring Edward G. Robinson as Professor Wanli, Joan Bennett as Alice Reed, and Dan Durya as Hite. Thus, in Midtown, New York City, a scorching July day has ended, and now, before the evening rush to finish, the streets are almost empty.

There's a clubhouse just off the family, an unpretentious, dignified brownstone building. And waiting in front of it is an unpretentious, dignified gentleman. Next to the clubhouse is an art gallery. Slowly, the gentleman walks over and gazes into the window, and chanted by the provocative face that smiled at him from an only painted canvas.
