katyscar11ett Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 It has been years that I've been requesting that TCM show "Three Strangers" starring Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet and Geraldine Fitzgerald. It is finally going to be shown on March 11. Thanks TCM - I knew you'd get around it it sooner or later - it may be later but I'm still happy.

michaelryan Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 One of my favorites also. Also "The Mask of Dimitrios" and "The verdict' Three strangers is the closest Greenstreet came to having a romantic encounter i films.( I Think) LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadin Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 You weren't the only one requesting. This is the best of the Lorre/Greenstreet films (along with the aforementioned THE VERDICT) in my opinion, and has an interesting depth that many of the other films--great as they are--lack. I hope people will be recording this underappreciated gem which has never been availible on video or DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katyscar11ett Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 "You weren't the only one requesting. " I was sure hoping that I wasn't. It's been a monthly request from me for 7-8 years now - but thank God, it's finally time!! If anything goes wrong with the dish, the network or my TV, you'll hear me screaming all the way to your house! I love all Greenstreet/Lorre movies ~ but this one is definitely special.

Arkadin Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I have a really crummy looking copy from 6 or 7 years ago when they last showed the film. I'm hoping to get a great looking print this time round. If anything bad should happen, hopefully there will be someone here with a good recording!

redriver Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I don't think I've seen this one. And, from the description, I think I'd remember! It sounds wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottman1932 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 THREE STRANGERS is a reaaly excellent film. Peter Lorre's performance in this one is one of my favorites, although Greenstreet nearly steals the show at the end. Thanks TCM for showing this gem.
