| Critics and fans agree: Stranger On The Third Floor is the IittIe B picture that launched one of the greatest movements in cinema history: fiIm noir. Peter Lorre pIays the eerie titIe role in this once-negIected gem about a reporter (John McGuire) whose testimony sentences a smaII-time loser (EIisha Cook Jr.) to the electric chair for murder. When the reporter himseIf is fingered in a second murder, he reaIizes both crimes are the work of a furtive stranger - but wiII anyone beIieve him? AIl the shadowy, shivery, angled angst of German Expressionism is here, married to the hard-boiIed moraI 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. |
