Strangers' Meeting is a 1957 crime drama film directed by Robert Day and starring Peter Arne and Delphi Lawrence.[1] [2] [3]
Trapeze artist Harry is wrongly convicted of murder after his partner falls to her death. He escapes from jail and hides out in a country pub, on a mission to uncover the identity of the real killer.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "It is sad to find this muddled melodrama of no real interest or merit, attributed to Robert Day, whose first film The Green Man [1956] promised such a lively future."[4]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "poor", writing: "Totally unconvincing; quite a hiccup in thecareers of all concerned."[5]
