Love from a Stranger (1947 film)

Love from a Stranger is a 1947 American film directed by Richard Whorf and starring John Hodiak and Sylvia Sidney. The film is also known as A Stranger Walked In in the United Kingdom.

Thomas M. Pryor, the film critic at The New York Times, gave the film a lukewarm review. He wrote, It may well be that some will find a modicum of excitement in Love From a Stranger. But the average moviegoer is a pretty hep customer and the chances are he will be so far ahead of the story that its climactic scene will explode with all the thunder of a cap pistol.Critic Craig Butler also had problems with the film, mostly the script. He wrote, A moderately entertaining mystery flick the story of which was better served when it was originally filmed in 1937, Love from a Stranger is an adequate but unexciting way to spend an hour and a half or so. Stranger wants to be a clever thriller, and it starts out well. Unfortunately, about halfway through it becomes rather obvious, and so the necessary suspense is simply lacking. ........
