About this product

Product Information

Though he doesn't speak his first line of dialogue until the film's final ten minutes, Peter Lorre spiritually dominates the fascinating RKO melodrama STRANGER ON THE THIRD FLOOR. The plotline is carried by John McGuire, playing Ward, a newspaper reporter whose courtroom testimony sends the hapless Brigg). to the death house. Ward is certain that he saw Briggs leaving the scene of a murder, but as the days pass, he is tortured by guilt and doubt -- especially during the film's surrealistic knockout of a nightmare sequence. When another murder is committed, Ward finds himself as much a victim of circumstantial evidence as the unfortunate Briggs. The reporter's girlfriend tries to clear Ward....and that's when she first makes the acquaintance of Lorre, who is heard ordering a pound of raw meat!

Additional Information
Though he doesn't speak his first line of dialogue until the film's final ten minutes, Peter Lorre spiritually dominates the fascinating RKO melodrama STRANGER ON THE THIRD FLOOR. The plotline is carried by John McGuire, playing Ward, a newspaper reporter whose courtroom testimony sends the hapless Briggs (Elisha Cook Jr). to the death house. Ward is certain that he saw Briggs leaving the scene of a murder, but as the days pass, he is tortured by guilt and doubt -- especially during the film's surrealistic knockout of a nightmare sequence. When another murder is committed, Ward finds himself as much a victim of circumstantial evidence as the unfortunate Briggs. The reporter's girlfriend (Margaret Tallichet) tries to clear Ward....and that's when she first makes the acquaintance of Lorre, who is heard ordering a pound of raw meat! STRANGER ON THE THIRD FLOOR was a film noir long prior to the genesis of that cinematic movement. Long ignored or trivialized by film historians, this 7-reel quickie has in recent years graduated to classic status.

  • The Big Little Film

    As Donald Rumsfeld might have said, Stranger on the Third Floor is a well-known unknown. It's a small-time production, both in terms of its length (just over an hour) and cast - the notable exception being Peter Lorre, who later became a star, but here receives third billing in an early creepy role. Whilst unremarkable at face value, Stranger on the Third Floor (no-one is stranger than Lorre) has nevertheless been credited as the very first Film Noir. The film was released in 1940 and would've been an inexpensive B-movie crime thriller of the type required to fill up movie theatre schedules. But in retrospect, it's not difficult to see the Noir elements: cynical and dissatisfied characters subsist in an Expressionist world of light and shadow where dreams succumb to the hand of fate.
