    What a movie !

    This film is intense. The story is solid. The acting is riveting. There is nothing slow or lukewarm about this film. In my opinion this film is much better,realistic and poignant than the entire bloated 'Godfather' trilogy. It will stick with you I promise.

    Never Forgive, Never Forget

    In New York, after seven years in prison, the lawyer Max Monetti (Richard Conte) goes to the bank of his brothers Joe (Luther Adler), Tony (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) and Pietro Monetti (Paul Valentine) and promises revenge to them. Then he visits his lover Irene Bennett (Susan Hayward) that asks him to forget the past and start a new life.

    Max recalls the early 30's, when he is the favorite son of his father Gino Monetti (Edward G. Robinson), who has a bank in the East Side. Gino is a tyrannical and egocentric self-made man that raises his family in an environment of hatred and Max is a competent lawyer engaged with Maria Domenico (Debra Paget). When Max meets the confident Irene, he has a troubled love affair with her. In 1933, with the new Banking Act reaches Gino for misapplication of funds. Max plots a plan to help his father but is betrayed by his brothers.

    Now Max will see his brothers that have also being raised under the motto "Never Forgive, Never Forget".

    "House of Strangers" is a magnificent film-noir by Joseph L. Mankiewicz with a great story of hatred and forgiveness. Edward G. Robinson has one of his best performances (if not the best) and wins the Best Actor award in the 1949 Cannes Film Festival. Richard Conte has one of his best roles (if not the best) in his well-succeeded career. Susan Hayward is very beautiful and elegant and performs a strong female character. My vote is ten.

    Wow.

    This movie is just superb. I can't believe I had not even heard of it, hopefully this DVD release will help it find a new audience and some deserved critical acclaim. It's billed as film noir, but it really isn't; it's more an extremely complex, suspenseful family drama. But that doesn't even do it justice. The screenplay is terrific, subtle, thoughtful, and at the same time, razor sharp. Some of the exchanges between Conte and Hayward in particular are electrifying. Talk about two 'tough cookies' that ignite when they get together. And you really begin to care deeply about what happens to them. (All of the acting is top notch, across the board.) And then there is the direction by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. The movie is so beautifully crafted and feels as if it could have been made yesterday, it's gritty and urban and fresh. The composition in the movie has deep meaning in just about every shot, and is gorgeous to behold besides. Watch this movie.

    Superb Robinson role of a tyrant and a dysfunctional family

    "House of Strangers" clearly is a film noir drama and crime story. But more than anything else, it's a showcase for the talent of Edward G. Robinson. This is a great performance by a great actor who never got so much as a nomination from any of the major groups in the film world. It always strikes me as a bit strange - maybe even a picture of a hypocritical and belatedly humiliated and humbled Hollywood, when it gives an honorary award for someone "who achieved greatness as a player, a patron of the arts, and a dedicated citizen, etc." But the person was never great enough to even be nominated once? Especially, when there's a list of outstanding films that he or she appeared in, either in a leading role or in a major supporting role.

    Well, Mr. Robinson got his honorary Oscar in 1973. The fact that this took place at the March 27 Academy Awards ceremony -- two months and one day after Robinson died, further suggests the idea that the moguls of Hollywood (actors, directors and producers) were a little shame-faced and trying to save face. For posterity, the records would show that they did indeed honor this great actor. The albeit is that it was with a guilty conscience and almost in hindsight after he had died.

    Edward G. Robinson has played a crook, a conman, a cop, a comic, and a crime boss. He was the consummate tough guy whether in a gangster movie, a war film, or a caper comedy.. Whatever role he had, Robinson was a fine actor and entertainer.

    In this movie, Robinson plays Gino Monetti, an Italian immigrant who has made good. The uneducated tough guy worked hard to get where he is. Now he has a significant financial operation in a tough neighborhood of New York City. Many people rely on Monetti and his bank to help them in crises and their small businesses The trouble is, Gino doesn't know the rules - or the law and the regulations governing banking. So, he operates on the basis of handshakes, oral agreements and hand-scribbled notes. We see him as a kind-hearted guy helping out a widow who needs train fare for a dying relative. And, we see him taking a big cut of a loan to a street merchant who needs to buy a new horse to pull his wagon.

    But the main story is about his family,. He has four sons. It's a very dysfunctional family. He treats three of the sons like dirt while favoring one of the younger of the two, Max, who has become a lawyer. The others are lackeys working as window clerks and guards in the bank.

    All of this will lead to family disputes and conflicts that tear the family apart. As the matron of the family says, when times were tough and they had a barbershop they were a family and happy. But now they have nothing in the midst of plenty. After Gino dies, she says she no longer has four sons. The plot in which all of this comes about is noir and high grade drama.

    Besides Robinson's central role, Richard Conte shares the limelight as Max. And, after he meets Susan Hayward's Irene Bennett, sparks of a sort fly hither and thither. Max and Irene have a running feud of words that are put-downs, insults, jabs and dismissals. So, naturally, they fall in love. Indeed, it isn't natural and it's the hardest subplot of this film to swallow. While such a relationship between two such personalities surely does happen sometimes, it would have to be extremely rare. Their spatting dialog maybe was intended to put some spice and wit into this film, but I think it's mostly a deviation from the Monetti family collapse.

    Those who enjoy noir films should go for this one in a big way. Those who don't care for the sub-genre should probably skip it entirely. For other fans, it depends on what else may be appealing or not so - family dysfunction, tyrannical family head, very disrespectful treatment of a woman, etc. My eight stars are for the acting - not only by Robinson, but by most of the rest of the cast as well.

    Here are a couple of the better lines in this film.

    Joe Monetti, "A man who throws away money is a big worry. A big problem."

    Max Monetti, "Vengeance is a rare wine, a joy divine, says the Arab."

    Every once in a while a great film comes along, and is somehow forgotten over a period of time...but is still well worth watching!

    This film appears in John Springer's movie book "Forgotten Films to Remember" by Citadel Press, and certainly lives up to it's name! It is a dark movie about the dysfunctional Monetti family. The late great Edward G. Robinson portrays Gino Monetti, the controlling patriarch banker father that rules his family with an iron fist. Richard Conte gives a sterling performance as the well meaning faithful son, Max Monetti. He takes a prison rap for embezzlement for his aging father. While he is in prison he helplessly learns that his brothers Joe (Luther Adler), Tony (Edward Zimbalist Jr., and Pietro (Paul Valentine plan to take over the family banking business. As a result of this his father dies. Max returns home from prison focused on revenge. Fortunately, Max's girlfriend (Susan Hayward)convinces him that the revenge he seeks is not worth it. Realizing that his father Gino was the real source of hatred and evil in the family, he decides to peacefully leave town with his girlfriend, but is soon confronted by his evil brothers.

    Amazingly this 1949 film was re-made in 1954 as a Western of all things! The title of the re-make was "Broken Lance". Same story different setting. Spencer Tracy (Controlling Rancher Father) plays the Robinson (Controlling Banker father) part, Robert Wagner plays the Conte part (Faithful son), Richard Widmark plays the Adler part (Ambitious older brother), Hugh O'Brien plays the Zimbalist part, and Earl Holliman plays the Valentine part (strong arm brother). Both films share a powerful script and good performances. Worth seeing!

    • Anecdotes
      According to Kenneth L. Geist's biography of the film's director Joseph L. Mankiewicz, "People Will Talk", the film's producer Sol Siegel hired Philip Yordan to adapt Joseph Weidman's novel for the screen. After Yordan submitted three-quarters of the script, Siegel, finding the script unacceptable, fired him and asked Mankiewicz to redo the script. Mankiewicz rewrote all of Yordan's dialogue, reshaped the script and finished it. The Screen Writers Guild ruled that Yordan receive sole story credit and that Yordan and Mankiewicz share credit for the screenplay. Mankiewicz refused to share credit for a screenplay he had basically written and so received no credit. The studio remade House of Strangers as a western in 1954 as Broken Lance and Yordan was given credit for the story and won an Academy Award for Best Writing, Motion Picture Story.
    • Gaffes
      In flashbacks dating back to 1932, Irene wears hairstyles and clothing that are not significantly different from the fashionable look she sports during the 1939 framing story, 7 years later, and all of which are strictly in the significantly different mode of 1949, the year the film was made. Likewise, the men's fashions, particularly the bulky extremely broad shouldered suits, are all strictly 1949, and not the more closely tailored styles of the 1930s.
