three stranger be not a typical hollywood film . dark and philosophical and it introduce the viewer to three people and stranger to one another and and then follow their sad and desperate life . while one reviewer on this site say it a shame they do not make movie like this anymore and the fact be and they almost never make movie like this back then . this be far less neat and more philosophical than your typical 40 flick and a movie about strange twist of fate and the way in which people fail to take responsibility for their action . the cast be excellent and with peter lorre particularly impressive in one of the best performance of his career a an alcoholic who think too much and do too little . i be also quite take by joan lorring touchingly vulnerable performance a a girl in with the wrong crowd . admittedly the end tie thing up in a neat little bow and yet for the most part this movie be far closer in spirit to the indie movie of the 1990s than to the film noirs of the 1940s it could be mistake for .
