It has always been man’s nature to invent idols on whom he could place the responsibility for his own actions. Perhaps these three strangers in this story, whose lives have really nothing to do with each other, would never have met except for a very ancient idol: the Chinese goddess, Kwan Yin. And perhaps their separate stories might have been different except for what happened that night. And then again, perhaps not.

Three Strangers was a delight. It’s suspenseful, well-acted and has a great deal of subtle depth. Plus it starred the greatest screen team of the 1940s, Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet. — The Siren

Don’t ever get mixed up with a Chinese goddess. That’s the worst thing that can happen, the very worst.
