Live Virtual Sky Room Talk:
At-Home Discussion and Q&A on Orson Welles' THE STRANGER - hosted by the Dean of Film-Noir... Prof. Foster Hirsch!
Tuesday, June 30th at 8:00 PM - Zoom Invitation Link provided in Email Order Confirmation
Public $10 | Members $7
THE STRANGER (1945) is an often-overlooked film noir by Orson Welles. It is an explosive subject - a Nazi hiding out in a New England community - handled in a relatively restrained style by Welles, eager to prove that he could make a conventional good movie under budget and on time. He did that - THE STRANGER is a brisk, tense thriller but it is still a film by Orson Welles that contains elements of the director's baroque style: dramatic and expressive angles and lighting, passages of bravura camera movement, and touches of social satire. The film also makes sly points about politics, mob psychology, and deceptive appearances. And it contains three stellar performances - by Welles as the Nazi in hiding, Loretta Young as his gullible wife, and Edward G. Robinson as a dogged investigator. A rare noir surprise!
