If you loved The Lady from Shanghai, try The Stranger

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Orson Welles, and they sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Lady from Shanghai, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Stranger is

Autumn in a New England college town, a pocket watch stops at 3:17. A man in a hat buys milk at dawn; another counts cracks in the sidewalk, lips moving silently. Classic noir paranoia, if noir wore tweed and quoted the Constitution over breakfast.
