	1946: Hollywood and the great directors
		The year 1939 is regarded by most film historians as the pinnacle of success and legitimacy in the short history of Hollywood.
		Prior to 1946 the American film industry was a separate component in cinema annals—different by its sheer size, structure, and its success in world film domination.
		Film Noir was shaped by the experience of war’s horrors, by the deep-rooted anxieties touched off by the dawn of the nuclear age, and by the difficult post-war adjustments faced by thousands of returning veterans.

	dOc DVD Review: Citizen Welles (The Stranger / The Trial) (1946/1963) - Printable
		The film is accordingly almost painfully conventional, as it trots out a potboiler of a tale about one Franz Kindler (Welles), a genocidal Nazi war criminal hiding from his past in a small American town.
		The Stranger is in 30-fps video format; The Trial has been converted to a 24-fps film rate, but the de-interlacing process is imperfect and produces heavy combing in one scene.
		The Stranger retains its original 1.33:1 theatrical full-frame format; The Trial is presented in a nonanamorphic letterboxed 1.66:1 widescreen aspect ratio, mislabeled as 1.85:1 on the disc and keepcase.

	EUFS: The Stranger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Welles' third film is a shamefully-underrated drama set in a small provincial town in Conneticut where an ex-nazi teacher (Welles) is being tracked down by an an inspector (Robinson) from the Allied War Crimes Commission.
		The performances are superb throughout the film with the teacher feeling increasingly uncomfortable by the arrival of the inspector.
		The camerawork from Russell Metty has become legendary and The Stranger despite all of its flaws remains - especially in aesthetic terms - such a unique film that one is tempted to make the bold assertion that it is among the director's finest accomplishments.

	[No title]
		Orson Welles's 1946 film reproduces his personal themes of self-scrutiny and self-destruction only in outline, though it is an inventive, highly enjoyable thriller.
		Welles rolls out all his technical thunder for the chase finale, but the most impressive scenes in the film may be those that depict daily life in the village; wrapped in snow, the setting has the magic hush of The Magnificent Ambersons.
		Welles has said that he made the film to prove he could shoot a conventional Hollywood feature; the proof is there but it did him no good.

	Political Film Society - Hearts in Atlantis
		Bobby accepts because he wants to buy a bicycle, as his mother professes to be too poor to afford such a purchase, though her purchase of expensive clothes belies her claim, and her cancellation of a birthday dinner to have sex with her boss reveals what kind of woman she and her boss are.
		The film begins and ends with scenes of an adult Bobby (played by David Morse), who returns to the town to attend the funeral of his best friend, who willed him a baseball mitt at the age of eleven, and he drops by the house where he once lived.
		The nostalgia of the film serves to remind filmviewers that one’s life can often be shaped by true friends who are long gone.

		Instead this film within the film was largely forgotten, despite belonging to the oeuvre of cinema's master.
		The film, shot in fl and white, gradually centers on the French town of Clermont-Ferrand, using it as a microcosm for the nation.
		Despite the obvious length issue, the film is decisively complex weaving through stories and events in such a manner that requires a great deal of attentiveness on the spectator's behalf.

	Mindjack - DVD - Film Noir Collections
		Warner Bros. recently released a superb box set with five classic films and Universal followed shortly thereafter with a number of titles from their catalogue in a new film noir line.
		The film, starring noir mainstay Edmund O'Brien as a man who discovers he's been poisoned and has only 24 hours to track down his own killer, is one of the most frenetic noirs I've seen and, I think, is one clear inspiration for Steven Spielberg's Minority Report.
		While the film is credited to Alfred Werker, it is widely recognized that it was as least mostly directed by the great Anthony Mann.

		Comment: Orson Welles plays the Stranger of the title, a wanted Nazi war-criminal now living in a small American town, a highly respected and well-liked man, now working as a school teacher and about to be married to the daughter of a local judge.
		The film contains a strong sense of American wholesomeness, beneath which lurks something dark and terrifying.
		He starred and directed and ensured that the result was a superior thriller that would resonate down the years.

	Arthurian Film
		Donner's film, which was shelved by the studio for several years before being dumped for television release, is one of the silliest films ever made about the Arthurian legend.
		The charges leveled against the film are generally that the lead roles were miscast, that the direction was ponderous, and that, at nearly three hours, the film was too long.
		Clearly, Zucker intends his film to be an Arthuriad for the 1990s, but the film fails to capture the spirit of the original legend or to make a case for its contemporary translation of the oft-told story of the Arthur-Lancelot-Guinevere love triangle.

		This latest film version of Anna Leonowens' experiences with the monarch of a changing 19th-century Siam is thoughtful and extraordinarily lavish, though not especially vital.
		Fat is interesting, and he wisely avoids a case of the cutes with his complex king (though he's occasionally unintelligible); it's just that there's nothing here that knocks you in the spine the way that Kerr/Brynner waltz does in the 1956 film.
		The movie does have an epic sweep, which is reverently captured by Caleb Deschanel's cinematography, and stirs up some involvement in the melodrama of a troubled, hopeful nation.

	The Stranger
		The part went to E.G. Robinson, who is marvelous, but it points out how many compromises Welles made on the film in an attempt to show Hollywood he could make a film on time, on budget, and on their own terms.
		The rest of film is a well-designed but conventional cat-and-mouse game featuring an eye-rolling performance by Welles and a thrilling conclusion played out in the dark clock tower that looms over the little village.
		The nontechnical highlights of this film are the performances of Edward G. Robinson and Loretta Young.

	DVD Savant Review: Citizen Welles (The Stranger; The Trial)
		The Stranger is Welles' tense thriller about a government agent (Edward G. Robinson) tracking a Nazi war criminal (Orson) to a small New England town, where he's managed to ferret himself away under a false identity and is about to marry a local woman (Loretta Young).
		The docu on the films and their restoration is also a very sloppy and amateurish job.
		Some basic facts on the films are spoken over very low-res clips from the features, and the rest of the running time is a snow job on what a terrific restoration this is.

	The Stranger
		The Stranger is generally regarded by Orson Welles aficionados as a standard thriller done for money, undertaken to prove to studio executives that he could work within the system (it had been four years since his last directorial effort).
		This leads into one of the best sequences of the film, in which Kindler frantically covers up a dead body in the woods, while several of his students are participating in a paper-chase nearby.
		Both films are set in postcard perfect small-town America, feature the villain launching into a psychotic monologue while sitting at a family dinner-table, and climax with a dramatic scene atop a bell tower.

		He made a comeback with "The Stranger", a less ambitious film noir and thriller.
		The film was delivered on time and under budget, and was perhaps Welles' biggest commercial success.
		The film's climax is also a bit showy, although one had to figure that a set as impressive as the big clock would have to be used.

	The Stranger Film Review - Time Out Film
		Welles' third film, often described as his worst, but still a hugely enjoyable thriller as Robinson's man from the Allied War Crimes Commission patiently stalks Welles' former top Nazi, now ensconced as a prep school teacher in a small Connecticut town and newly married to the innocent Young.
		Admittedly some wobbles develop (not least in Orson's own overpitched performance), and the script has its naïve moments (as when the Nazi gives himself away in a dinner-table gambit: 'Marx wasn't a German, he was a Jew').
		But it is studded with great scenes like the stranger's furtive flight through the dockyards at the beginning, the murder in the woods with boys streaming by on a paperchase, or the Nazi's death high on the clock tower, impaled by the sword wielded by a mechanical figure as the hour begins to strike.

		Well, if it was not for The Stranger, the career of the great Orson Welles might have been fairly short, and the great film may not have been made.
		Even for a film of this age, this is a little disappointing, although it may of course be a reflection of the way Orson Welles shot the film.
		There were however the inevitable patches where the film artefacts were relatively non-existent and the film was certainly easier to watch during these sections.

		Be warned: "Detour" is fine film noir, but this version, at least the one I bought, has an apparent film reversal in the early hitchhiking scenes, which show the cars' drivers on the right side!
		In other sections of the film, there are brief but noticeable lapses in lighting and sound quality.

		In the 1946 thriller, "The Stranger", Orson Welles directs and stars in a gripping story about a Nazi war criminal living anonymously in a small Connecticut town.
		An engaging study in fl and white, the film premiered during a time when the Hitler mess was still a fresh wound.
		This was one of the few post-"Citizen Kane" films that continues to display his brilliant eye and roguish good looks.

		This two-sided DVD by Roan Group is region 0 and contains two classic noir films: the excellent and widely available The stranger (1946), and the melodramatic and rarely seen Cause for Alarm (1951).
		This is a great buy for fans of film noir, and/or the actress Loretta Young (I'm both) On one side you have Orson Welles "The Stranger", the movie he made to prove he could work within the studio system without problems.
		The film was still cut, Welles version was over 2 hours long and the version released in the US was 85 minutes long, and the international release was 95 minutes.

		Although "The Stranger" illustrates Welles' concerns that World War II did not spell the end of fascism, the film is by his own admission more of an attempt at profitable Hollywood product than an artistic statement.
		Despite this and the film's failure to live up to the inevitable comparison's with "Shadow of a Doubt," "The Stranger" remains a well-paced thriller, more enjoyable when considered apart from the rest of Welles' oeuvre.
		The trademark Welles style is evident in the South American prologue and the drugstore scenes, and the film achieves genuine suspense during the "paper chase" scene and the grand finale.

		This 1946 film noir, starring Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake, launches SAM's new series, entitled Mystery Street: The Film Noir Cycle.
		Jarmusch's best films have always been built around an amicably aimless spirit, but Broken Flowers is undermined by a lack of drive comparable to that of its main character.
		Hers is a fantastical world where the most important contours are human shapes, where intense sexual longing collides with the paradoxical wish to escape your own skin, where those who have power try to abdicate it, and those who are powerless act out in agonizing, self-deceiving ways.

		With six films on the roster, the traveling "Cinema India!" mini-fest proves that while some films (here, four of the six) mostly keep with tradition, others are spiraling into different areas of interest.
		Solely responsible for the uptick of interest in the specialized drum, Hussain started playing when he was 7, began touring when 12 and has hardly stopped since, lending his distinctive clipped rhythms to everyone from Ravi Shankar to George Harrison (of course) to the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart (ditto).
		Only the patented Bollywood spiritedness and a not-complete disregard for human life distinguishes it from the packrats, though at least its arbitrarily complicated plot (nice dude befriends the mafia) is so light you can hang with it for about an hour before losing interest.
