In Greek tragedy, they fall from great heights. In noir, they fall from the curb.
— Dennis Lehane
From PG via Karen L. Myers.
Film as noir, a sleeper:
“The Strangerâ€, 1946- Welles, Loretta Young, Robinson.
A shade of “Double Indemnity†and hints of the upcoming “The Third Man†arise in Welles’ first noir.
For the addicted, an uncredited Brother Theodore appears briefly.
When (whenever) Welles acts he’s not. It’s unsettling who he is.
