Stranger on the Third Floor
Stranger on the Third Floor ★★★ 1940
Reporter McGuire's testimony helped convict cabbie Cook of murder, but he begins to have doubts. Odd, shadowy psycho-thriller considered by some the first film noir. The reporter comes to be suspected of the crime…and his fiancee pounds the pavement to prove him innocent. Average acting, but great camera work gives the whole a deliciously menacing feel. 64m/B VHS . Peter Lorre, John McGuire, Elisha Cook Jr., Margaret Tallichet, Charles Halton; D: Boris Ingster.
