Strangers in the Night (1944)

This clever little noir is Anthony Mann's first feature film, and it is very entertaining.....the last two minutes strain credulity; however, fans of Mann's masterpieces know that Swiss clock plotting was never his real interest...............of all mid 20th century genre directors he brought Shakespearean character arcs and conflict to the western and crime melodrama and by doing so elevated them to a level of art that has not since been replicated. Why this guy is not a household name like

Wilder, Ford, and Hitchcock is beyond my comprehension.

Don't expect T Men or Naked Spur.......this film is not at that level..........If you are a fan of Mann's movies, this is a must have as you can see several tropes that are used in later better known films............if you have no idea who Anthony Mann is get Naked Spur and watch it first..................if you like it like I think you will, you will want to see every movie he ever made:)

Olive films has put out a VERY nice looking transfer of this movie........I wish TMen and some of his other early noirs looked this good on DVD.. .

This is a good movie. The description calls it a Film Noir but it is more of a regular drama. A Marine goes to met the woman he became pen pals with and meets everyone but her. I was impressed with the quality of the movie. It doesn't say if it was restored but it looks unbelievable for a 1944 movie!
