	Love From a Stranger

Platform: DVD MOVIE Publisher: ALPHA VIDEO Packaging: DVD STYLE BOX A struggling London office worker Carol Howard wins the French lottery and makes plans to travel the world unaware of the horrific fate which awaits her. Dashing Gerald Lovell inquires about renting her flat and Carol finds herself drawn to him. Romance develops and the couple are wed but Gerald begins to reveal a dark and sinister side spending hours alone in the cellar and forbidding Carol to enter. Much to her horror Carol uncovers evidence that her husband may be a deranged serial killer.Based on a play by Frank Vosper and a short story by Agatha Christie Love From A Stranger is a fast-paced nail-biting suspense drama made in England under the taut direction of Rowland V. Lee. Basil Rathbone best known for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in the years that followed gives one of his most dynamic and memorable performances deftly capturing his character?s transition from debonair gentleman to demonic maniac. Rathbone and Lee would reunite two years later for Universal Pictures' classic thrillers Son Of Frankenstein and Tower Of London. Starring: Basil RathboneDirected by: Rowland V. LeeScreenplay by: Francis Marion DVD Details: Run Time: 88 minutesNumber of Discs: 1Originally Released in 1937Black & WhiteNo region encoding; For global distribution. *Viewer Reviews* I'm reviewing the Alpha DVD Edition of this film, the three stars I gave the product are due to the bad quality of the transfer, because I'd given the film alone, four and half stars. With Alpha's DVD Editions, you either have the luck of getting decent copies (sometimes even very good ones like "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers") or awful ones, like this one in particular. The film is based upon a Play of an Agatha Christie Story and is superbly directed by Rowland V.Lee, with an almost complete English Cast, except for Ms. Harding. The plot is quite simple and suspenseful: a working girl wins a huge amount of money in the Lottery and meets a mysterious, attractive man. It was filmed in 1937, when the leading actress' stardom (Ann Harding) had already waned in the United States (after being one of the Top Stars during the Early Sound Era). Nonetheless, her acting ability and talent are obvious as well as her charm and grace. Basil Rathbone is excellent too as the mysterious man who arrives into her life, giving a skilled performance. The rest of the supporting cast is very good too and the sets and the film's atmosphere give the proper background to this entertaining story. In spite of the bad quality of the transfer, I could enjoy the film's plot completely, because it's so absorbing and well paced, that you forget about the "technical flaws" of the copy. If you liked Robert Montgomery's "Night Must Fall", this one's for you. 'Til now Alpha's is the only DVD Edition available of this film. Back To Top
