Wilson (Edward G Robinson) from the Allied War Crimes Commission patiently stalks a former top Nazi (Welles), now ensconced as a prep school teacher in a small Connecticut town and newly married to the innocent Mary (Loretta Young) - who happens to be the Supreme Court Justice's daughter. Studded with great scenes like the stranger's furtive flight through the dockyards and rare-for-the-time long takes such as the four minute woods scene, <i>The Stranger</i> proved to be Welles' only box office hit upon its release, and received a nomination for the top prize at the Venice International Film Festival and Best Story at the Academy Awards.</div><div><br></div><div><div><i>"</i><i>Uncovering hidden identities from the past bring together Orson Welles’s </i>The Stranger<i> and Julien Duvivier’s </i>Marie-Octobre<i>. Edward G Robinson plays a UN Crimes Commission agent looking for a Nazi fugitive and war criminal who he knows has relocated to a small town in Connecticut in what is arguably an underrated film in Welles’s canon. Duvivier’s tense one-set real time thriller </i>Marie-Octobre<i> follows an evening of former French resistance fighters who reunite for a dinner, only for one of them to be accused by the hostess of betraying the group many years ago - only, they do not know who it was who betrayed them."</i></div><div><i><br></i></div><div><i>- Written by Raymah Tariq, Programme Manager</i></div></div>ThrillerPT1H35MPG2026-11-30USenEdward G.
