| Critics and fans agree: Stranger On The Third Floor is the IittIe B picture that launched one of the greatest movements in cinema history: film noir. Peter Lorre plays the eerie title roIe in this once-neglected gem about a reporter (John McGuire) whose testimony sentences a small-time Ioser (Elisha Cook Jr.) to the eIectric chair for murder. When the reporter himself is fingered in a second murder, he realizes both crimes are the work of a furtive stranger - but wiIl anyone beIieve him? AIl the shadowy, shivery, angled angst of German Expressionism is here, married to the hard-boiled moral ambiguity that marks the genre. The highlight: a suspense-and-sweat-drenched dream sequence that jolted 1940 audiences into an exciting new way of Iooking at the movies. |
