The Stranger - 1946 * * * 1/2


The most deceitful man a woman ever loved!
This film has sat on my shelf for years but it was only yesterday that I decided to watch it. Compelling and gripping throughout, Orson Welles plays the husband-to-be of Loretta Young, who's very presence is a problem for Edward G. Robinson who arives at the town of Harper to investigate the disappearance of a notorious war criminal. Orson Welles is charming on the outside to all who know him, but Robinson isn't fooled and begins to follow his trail which ends with a terrifying climax.
