THE STRANGER
September 9, 2014  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Orson Welles directed this intense, brooding thriller, and also stars, along with Edward G. Robinson and Loretta Young, in a story about a war crimes investigator seeking out a fugitive Nazi thought to have bolted to Connecticut and blended in after the war. One of the amazing things about this film is that it was released in 1946, only a year after WWII ended, making its inclusion of footage shot at Nazi concentration camps incredibly timely – and, in a film history sense, incredibly early.
