The 1950 #movie #HouseByTheRiver is a gothic-ish noir drama that is pretty much under the radar, but is super solidly directed by #FritzLang. Some frames are #expressionism and #noir aesthetics at their best. #LouisHayward performs like a maniac as a man who tries to pin the blame for a murder on his brother. - #CineMastodon #FilmMastodon
