solarblast Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 What is the name of the film in which Robinson wakes up to a dream that allows him to escape some predicament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Are you serious? Did you ask this question tonight on purpose because the very film you're asking about was shown? If not, that's quite a coincidence. The film is The Woman in the Window, and it was aired just a few hours before you posted that question.

solarblast Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hmm, I did notice it, but it seemed like another of his movies. I think it played once a month ago, so passed it up. However, I don't recall the one a month ago had a dream. Didn't he kill Dan Duryea and somehow ended up in jail? I'm headed for imdb to see if there's any mention of the "surprise ending".

No, but he wanted to kill him........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarblast Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 According to the imdb, a number of people recall the ending as a dream. Quite a few did not like the dream idea. When I first saw the movie many years ago, I went with the dream idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 solar, if you're talking about "Woman in the Window", it was most certainly a dream. That is made very clear; it's not one of those film endings that's left ambiguous..."What was that all about? was it a dream or not??..." No, I just saw this movie last night, so it's fresh in my mind. Whoever thinks it's not clear must not be remembering it very well. Edward G. Robinson's character is awakened by the club butler (or whatever he is), rubs his eyes, and slowly gets up and leaves, noticing the faces of the coat check clerk and the doorman on his way out, as they were both people who appeared in his dream.
