Look in Any Window might have been less memorable without some strong actors in key roles. Chief among them is Ruth Roman, who brings an overripe sensuality and sexual swagger to her love starved housewife. Too much woman for almost any man, Roman has such a strong screen presence that only an actor like Kirk Douglas in Champion (1949) or Sterling Hayden in 5 Steps to Danger (1957) can hold their own against her smoldering, man-eating persona. She has good chemistry with Jack Cassidy’s devil may care Lothario in their scenes together and there is clearly some incestuous innuendo between her and her son, most obviously in the sequence where she rubs lotion on Craig’s scratches (from an attack on Eileen).
