Reviews
Three strangers, one idol and one sweepstake ticket. Bad mix. Three Strangers is directed by Jean Negulesco and written by John Huston and Howard Koch. It stars Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre and Geraldine Fitzgerald. Music is by Adolph Deutsch and cinematography by Arthur Edeson. A tricky movie in structure as it constantly shifts between three character arcs to lead us to its resolution.
