The Stranger

Film Description

The chilling tale of a postwar Nazi hunt that gave Orson Welles his first chance to direct in four years following Citizen Kane. Welles responded to the challenge by bringing the film in on time and within budget. It was his biggest commercial success. Although many of his most interesting scenes wound up on the cutting-room floor when producer Sam Speagle re-edited the film, this is still a multilayered, complex, and fascinating film. The scenes between Welles and Robinson are intellectually gripping, leading up to the stylized, shocking conclusion.
