After the artistic success of Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons, Orson Welles set out to show he could make a commercial film by directing himself as a Nazi official taking refuge as a small-town prep school professor, trailed by a war-crimes investigator (Edward G. Robinson) out to bring him to justice. Suspenseful, if a tad melodramatic, this archetypal thriller proves the third time is the charm for this latest high-def release. Sourced from a preprint element superior to the rather worn-out prints scanned for two prior discs makes this a highly welcome Stranger.
