THE STRANGER (1946 Film) Orson Welles classic – Fri Feb 23 @ 7pm
“As distinctively Wellesian as Citizen Kane.” -SLANT Magazine

“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.” Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

“Brilliantly tense, with a heart-pounding climax.” -MovieMom

Immediately following World War II, ex-Nazi Franz Kindler (Orson Welles) is living under a false identity as a teacher in a small Connecticut town and has even married the headmaster’s daughter (Loretta Young) as part of his cover. But when one of Kindler’s old German associates (Konstantin Shayne) arrives unexpectedly in town, bringing in his wake a sly federal investigator (Edward G. Robinson), Kindler resorts to desperate measures to preserve his secret. (RootenTomatoes 97% FRESH)
