Servicable at best film-noir that doesn't quite resonate with me. Strangers In the Night deals with a recovering GI, whose road back to full health was strengthened by letters from a female pen pal whom he has never actually met. Their correspondence begins when he obtains a book, whose previous owner, a "Rosemary" leaves her mailing address and some kind words within, in hopes that the next owner will enjoy it as much as she did. He decides to write, she replies back and through time a romance begins to blossom.
Once he is discharged, naturally him and Rosemary have arranged to finally meet and that's when Strangers In the Night really begins.
It really is predictable within the first 20 minutes, I hate to be a stickler, but its full of plot holes and doesn't have alot of build up and seriously lacks in suspense. Notable really if only for Anthony Mann as director who is pretty darn good.
Its missing alot of ingredients that define what works best in film-noir movies. A nice title for the genre but doesn't aptly fit what's going on here.
