“Three Sirangers”
Gripping Film Fare
Tense melodrama in the high
ly successful tradition of “The
Maltese Falcon” is the promise
offered by Warner Bros ’ “Three
Strangers” playing Sunday and
and Monday at the Orpbeum
theatre
Starring Sydney Greensfrpet,
Geraldine Fitzgerald and Peter
Lorre as the name trio of the ti
tle, the plot hangs upon the ne
farious activities of the oddly l
cooje-togethers who hold a joint
sweepstakes ticket that cannot
be cashed in when it becomes an
important clue in a gruesome
murder.
Contributing to the excellence
of the unusual and absoming
plot is the directing of Jean Ne
gulesco, who did “The Mask of
Dimitrios” and ' The Conspiiat
ors.”
By pacing the film at an ever
quiekening tempo, Negulesco has
acheived a breathless quality of
suspense throughout which
makes for a continually absorb
ing adventure in motion picture
entertainment.
