Customer Reviews

Wit, style and a solid story
Dialogue that can be relished, a classic yarn about a Lear like figure playing his children off against each other and black and white photography of delicious clarity - go ahead, do yourself a favour!

JOSEPH L. MANKIEWICZ, OPUS 7
****1/2 1949. Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, HOUSE OF STRANGERS is an adaptation of Jerome Weidman's I'll never go there any more. NYC in the early 30's. When the government starts to examine how Gino Moretti's familial bank really works, the old Italian born godfather must face three of his four sons who wants to forsake him. First-rate film noir that will force you to admit that Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (Widescreen Edition) was not the first movie to talk about the family problems of the members of the honorable society.

House of Strangers
The DVD was in excellent shape. I wanted to buy it because Susan Hayward was one of my favorite actresses. I thought the plot of the movie wasn't the greatest, but it was good to have another Susan Hayward movie to add to my collection.
