Glafira Regina O I can’t rate this adaptation as well. But for old cinema connoisseurs I can definitely recommend to watch “Love from a stranger” - quite nice acting, costumes and plot. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Chris H Watching the tension building it was really worth watching. The two leads worked well together with good support from the other members of the cast the twist at the end was really cleve well worth a watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Ted B 3.5 stars; I was actually looking for the 1947 release of this film, and stumbled upon the earlier version when I discovered the later version wasn't available. I am so glad that I did. Even though this version was released ten years earlier, it was a well-directed film with two excellent performances. The innocence portrayed by Ann Harding and the evilness portrayed by Basil Rathbone blended into a truly scary movie. The ending was as thrilling as any current-day thriller. I won't spoil the neat twist that only Agatha. Christie could dream up for an ending Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Audience Member From The Mill Creek Dark Crimes 50 Movie collection. This is based on an Agatha Christie story and contains some of the most histrionic acting I've ever witnessed. I never knew that anyone could go so far over the top and not shoot out of the frame and into space. The basic plot concerns a young woman who wins a lottery and soon after meets and falls in love with a "stranger", played by Basil Rathbone. Rathbone's intentions are far from happy and it all winds down to a conclusion that allows... well lets just say you will wonder about everyone's sanity. I'm not sure I liked this. Its good, but it takes a while to get going. Once its moving its fine but even then I was never really content. I want to say that its oddly British, but its not so much that its British as mannered. I like that you have the pure unrestrained emotion in the final act, but at the same time compared to the earlier low key nature of it I was wondering how many coffees the cast had. Frankly I'm reserving my final judgment until I see it again. Even with all of that said and done I suggest you do see this movie- and stay to the end. Unless you've seen this before, I'm certain you've never witnessed what Basil Rathbone was truly capable of. I won't try to explain that statement, I'll let you search this out and see for yourself. 3 Stars 3-16-14 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Two very classy actors in a well-directed melodrama that's suspenseful and clever--Basil the Fortune Hunter!!
