What a great classic film!!! The cast couldn't be better and the director, well the name speaks for the the quality of the finished product. I love classic films, and this has to be one of the best black and white films of all time. This is one of those films where color would distract from the artistic beauty of this film. I love the camera angles and framing of scenes. Mr Wells was certainly a genius at direction. Thanks Snookie.
OKM, we couldn't agree more with your comments about The Stranger. In our humble opinion Welles could do no wrong---kind of in the same vein as Kubrick. [PS we'll forgive the n you've added to our name---we do like that Jersey Shore gal, but we are not she ;D]
