Way back in the 19...Here's a memory for you...<br /><br />Way back in the 1980s, in college in Arkansas, my friend John Errickson and I wandered into the Dorm TV room about One am and turned on the TV. He says-- out loud-- "God i wish there was an orson Welles movie on..."<br /><br />As if by magic we turned the channel to the local PBS affiliate and they were playing THE STRANGER, no lie! We were blown away... talk about divine intervention!<br /><br />I still love the scene where Edward G. phones his boss and says he has decided to stay and investigate. "After all," he says, "Who but a Nazi would so quickly point out that Marx was a Jew?" <br /><br />I don't know exactly why but that has always been the pivotal moment of the film for me. <br /><br />Anyway thanks for sharing about this forgotten classic!<br /><br />PEACE<br />Albie The Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10581327547260652201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-82480269291575595692012-12-18T15:40:27.815-08:002012-12-18T15:40:27.815-08:00Yeah, Welles could be a little strange on camera. ...Yeah, Welles could be a little strange on camera. I'm thinking of THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI, and his Harry Lime is so creepy, also the fat man in TOUCH OF EVIL.
