Movie Reviews of We Were Strangers
Movie Review: "They'll all be blown to hell, which is where they belong."
Summary: 5 Stars
This neglected, controversial, and highly underated John Huston classic has thankfully been released on dvd so that movie buffs can rediscover this "lost" gem. While the dvd has no bonus features (besides a few meaningless theatrical trailors) it at least has a great sound quality and very good picture quality.
John Garfield stars as Tony Fenner, a Cuban-born expatriate who returns to his now troubled country for one purpose: to wipe out the dictator Gerardo Machado and his sinister puppet government. To do this he recruits a handful of brave Cuban patriots, including China Valdes (played by Jennifer Jones), a beautiful young woman who recently witnessed her own brother's murder by the evil chief-of-police, Ariete (played to perfection by Pedro Armendariz). China and Tony slowly but surely fall in love as they work together to free Cuba from dictatorship.
Tony and his comrades are plotting to blow up the Cuban government with a bomb, but when the plan goes wrong, they must split up and try to make their escape as best as possible. When Tony and China are trapped in a building and surrounded by the ruthless police, they decide to fight (rather than be caught and executed) back with a Thompson sub-machine gun and dynamite!
This movie was one of John Garfield's last roles before he was unjustly blacklisted, a blow that many say led to his fatal heart attack at age 39. Jennifer Jones and John Garfield have good chemistry together and the supporting cast is wonderful. If you enjoy classic movies add this explosive thriller to your collection!
