Soon after Frank Chambers (John Garfield) is hired to help with Nick Smith's (Cecil Kellaway) roadside diner and service station, it's clear that he and Smith's wife Clara (Lana Turner) are heading down the road toward an illicit love affair and murder. While the 1946 film version James M. Cain's 1936 novel is the best known, two previous film adaptations had already been made in France (1939) and Italy (1943). Jack Nicholson and Jessica Lange also played the scheming lovers in 1981, but the film was received poorly by critics who compared it unfavorably to the 1946 version.

Answer: The Kiss
"The Kiss", released in 1896, was a black and white silent film that only lasted 47 seconds; it was also known as "The May-Irwin Kiss" or "The Rice-Irwin Kiss". The film depicts the last scene from the musical stage comedy "The Widow Jones" in which Irwin and Rice starred. This was the first film in which an actual kiss took place between a couple, as well as being one of the first films to be shown in public. As a promotional campaign for the musical, the "New York World" newspaper asked the actors to stage the kiss for the camera. When the film was shown, it caused a completely negative effect as people were shocked and horrified at what they had just seen on the screens, causing negative editorials. In some places they even requested the police to take action against the showing of such a scandalous film. One outraged critic wrote "The spectacle of the prolonged pasturing on each other's lips was beastly enough in life size on the stage but magnified to gargantuan proportions and repeated three times over it is absolutely disgusting."
Needless to say, the film became the most popular film for Edison Vitascope in 1896. The film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.

As he continues work, he just can't control his great desire and ends up kissing her. After kissing her he just steps back and continues to work, as if nothing happened.
"Greed" was a silent movie directed by Erich von Stroheim, based on the novel " McTeague : A Story of San Francisco" by Frank Norris.
