Excellent movie by Orson. What a good director he was. Thank you for giving the chance to re-see this classic.

This film style is fascinating.. it's amazing that they made films like this devoid of any real humor or comic relief! These types of films DON'T exist any more, and it's sad that they don't get made any more.. they deserve a modern-day revival!! Who is with me?!

Great movie! Edward G. Robinson... what else can be said about him? Perfect....impeccable. Thank you very much !

He encapsulated the madness of the German mind at the time of the War. This struggle between good and evil in a small town is great. Orson was always a genius of an actor.

We can see the Genius of Welles in every shot Amazing !

Yet another Orson-masterpiece recommended by JM on Twitter.

This is a really good movie, I have seen it several times. Loretta Young is so good in it. Edward G Robinson is as superb as he is in all his movies. Orson Wells was perfect for his part....3 great actors!

Absolutely brilliant - as only these films, and actors can be! Thank you.

One of the GREATEST films of the 40s, and the best quality showing on KZread (thank you) This movie is right up there at the top, comparable to the greatest Hitchcock movies, and Citizen Kane, on account of the masterful touch of Orson Welles and the brilliant performances of Welles, Edward G Robinson, and Loretta Young. In fact, I would say it surpasses Citizen Kane, as the story is more appealing to a wider audience. Outstanding in too many ways to mention! KAN 3.20 UK

My favorite films starring Edward G. Robinson are those in which his character is the moral compass of the film. His majesty is towering despite his elfin stature-- I refer to this film, The Stranger , as well as Double Indemnity, and Bullets or Ballots. I include Soylent Green in a slightly separate category, as his character, Sol, provides less of an example of moral authority than a depiction of the last human with joy, sweetness, and the ability to find rapture in books, art, and a good meal. Aware of his own impending death from cancer, I cannot imagine what he must have felt shooting his death scene -- again, his humanity in an maddened, cannibalistic dystopia makes him appear tiny -- yet larger than life in his brave acceptance of mortality. God Bless you, Eddie, and Thank You for years of wonderful performances!

Well, I always thought so. Loretta and Orson gave their child up to a doctor. They had son. A love child. It was a boy. The boy grew up normally. However, the son had a car accident and really went off the deep end. His mental state of rage and anger. Even arrested. Many might not know that. I can't remember the name of the documentary. I remember Prodical Son. Don't know if I spelled that right.

Magnificent. I first saw this movie as a kid, 30 plus years ago. It impressed me back then and does so even more now.

Welles, A fugitive on the run. much like Harry Lime in THE THIRD MAN. Edward G. is superb as is Loretta Young and a gifted ensemble cast.

Edward G in Solent Green - what an eye opener ✨👀✨ why do I think 🤔 this isn’t that so far fetched ‼️ on another note - Orson Wells was so ahead of his time and woke us up as so many geniuses have the ability to 😬🤔👀❗️Loretta - your still extraordinary - love watching your display of emotions - I can’t resist the the way I’m drawn into whatever role you play.

Small Connecticut town becomes the scene of a pair of human and canine murders; a newlywed must confront the nightmare that her intuition already knows but daren't admit, but it won't let her go... Brilliant film, thank you for letting us see it!

i clicked on this because i have never seen a movie with loretta in it....have seen orson and e.g. in films before so i thought the three together should make a good view....very well done film...all three impressed me....i am 69 years old and it still amazes me that ALL the men in a film are in suits....funny way to dress just doing ordinary things

A fine movie that captures much of the atmosphere of the 1940s. It reminds me of Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt which was made a few years earlier. Edward g Robinosn was one of the very best actors who ever workd in Hollywood. He was allways first rate.

The clock, once repaired is similar to Poe's beating heart.

Have seen this many times on TV in NY, funny it never seemed particularily popular and it's a great film on so many levels, Hitchcockian Americana.
