I had never heard of "The Stranger," but it was actually Orson Welles' most commercially successful directorial effort — the only such effort, really. Coming out in 1946, it played on a lot of anti-Nazi hysteria about fascists hiding out among us after World War II. Welles is the supposed mastermind of the Holocaust, Franz Kindler, while Edward G. Robinson is the dogged G-man on his trail.
