three stranger have long be a favorite film of mine and with it fascinate reference to the statue of the goddess kwan yin and who and in chinese legend and open her eye and grant a wish to three stranger on the chinese new year . geraldine fitzgerald and sydney greenstreet and and peter lorre be the above mention stranger and each with an agenda that can be easily pursue by money . so the wish be that their sweepstakes ticket win and and the agreement be that it then be enter into the horse race that follow . geraldine fitzgerald character seem sympathetic and but she reveal herself a quite obsessive and delusional a the film progress . greenstreet play a crooked solicitor and and lorre portrays a small time criminal he the most sympathetic character and and to my mind and give the most memorable performance . the film ask the question do the meeting of the three stranger change their life and or do event proceed a they would have . this be an unusual and absorbing and and entertaining film . i highly recommend it .
