Ted B I agree that this was an okay movie. The plot contained enough irony to be a Twilight Zone episode, especially the ending. It was compelling enough, but much of that was thanks to the "Maltese Falcon" duo of Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. However, even with their noir performances, it did not bring this film up to that level. Overall, an entertaining watch...

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Film noir at its best, in a quirky story co-written by John Huston, carried by two of his actors from "The Maltese Falcon" — Sidney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre — and that film's composer, Adolph Deutsch. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review ashley h Three Strangers is an okay film. It is about three strangers who share a sweepstakes ticket which they wished upon together before a Chinese idol. Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Jean Negulesco did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review joe m Enjoyable if kind of off-beat and overly long, "Three Strangers" brings together two of film noirs titan - Greenstreet and Lorre - along with Fitzgerald. The film is sort of the vignette type where the eponymous leads only come together at the beginning and the end of the movie. Lorre as a romantic lead comes off as a bit of stretch. Fitzgerald as a vengeful spurned wife doesn't quite pull off the necessary psychotic over the top performance called for in the role. Greenstreet's is the only performance that lives up to providing a range of emotions, especially for the rather dramatic denouement. A good film if you happen to catch it, but not worth going out of your way to find. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Rich S Unfortunately, it comes nowhere near The Maltese Falcon, the movie for which this was to be a sequel. The stories of the three strangers are only mildly interesting at best. There is an interesting climax, but not a very convincing one. Still, for the performances and the style, I would give it one viewing to see if you like it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/23/20 Full Review Read all reviews
