Day 13 of The Daily Dish: No Bueno!

I hope you’re hungry because we’ve got a whopper for today’s Daily Dish: it’s the Noir Ending I Don’t Appreciate! I am not a fan of noirs with happy endings (Hello, 99 River Street!), but I’m giving those movies a pass today. Instead, I’m setting my sights on the noir whose ending really grinds my gears: The Woman in the Window (1944). This film stars Edward G. Robinson as Professor Richard Wanley, who gets more than he bargained for when he gets involved with the model for a painting he admires. I don’t want to spoil the plot for those of you who haven’t seen the movie – but I have to spoil the ending in order to finish this post! I don’t appreciate the end of this film because it turns out that the crime Wanley commits, and everything else that happens, is a FRICKIN’ DREAM. I mean, shades of Bobby Ewing! Give me a break. Is there a noir ending you don’t appreciate? Let us know in the comments below – and pop over tomorrow for Day 14 of The Daily Dish – Favorite Western Noir! See you…
