Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - under-rated romantic masterpiece
Based on Evan Hunter's bestselling novel, STRANGERS WHEN WE MEET (Richard Quine, 1960) is a fascinating romantic drama, very indicative of the conservative period in which it was made, yet still fresh and vibrant in it's depiction of a pair of married lovebirds whose affair is doomed from the start...

Successful architect Larry Coe (Kirk Douglas) and housewife Maggie Gault (Kim Novak) meet during the daily ritual of dropping their kids at the bus-stop. Larry is married to Eve (Barbara ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Three People Miserable
Just saw this on TCM (how I wish DirecTV would show TCM in HD). I realize that in 1960, Hollywood endings had to worship the marital union, but I kept saying to myself, geez, Kirk, get a divorce ... and you, too Kim. Instead, Kirk Douglas goes off to Hawaii with a clinging wife he's no longer in love with who "can't live without him" and is certain to never trust him again; Novak, alone and still horny, goes back to her closet-case husband. Great. As for Matthau ... a truly repulsive misogynist ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Dancing about architecture
A soap opera, sure, but one that's perfectly extravagant and surprisingly grown up, with unexpected moments of surprise and tension -- "Strangers," it's worth noting, has the best, most nerve-wracking unanswered phone call this side of "Once Upon a Time in America," and that's by no means faint praise.

Kirk Douglas plays a driven, artistically-inclined, vaguely-Zen-without-saying-Zen architect who builds high-dollar homes around Los Angeles. He's contentedly married but you couldn't call ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Kirk Douglas like you've never seen him!
Wow! this movie was wonderful. Set in 1960 and brought back wonderful memories of the way we dressed, the houses, the cocktail parties at home as I watched my parents entertain. Kirk Douglas was fit (Spartacus was being filmed at this time) so he was in great shape, very handsome. The affair had a surprise ending but the setting in Hollywood? all I could think of was that era and what was going on at the time. Marilyn Monroe, the Kennedy family and Elvis. Interesting part was the Hollywood writer having ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Superior, Engrossing Douglas/Novak Soap Opera
Strangers When We Meet is one of those glossy, well-made soap operas that were very popular from the mid-1950s to early 1960s. And this is one of the better ones of the genre.

Kirk Douglas plays an architect who works primarily from home. He's married to Barbara Rush and has two sons. He meets and developes an affair with neighbor Kim Novak, also married with a son. Douglas and Novaak both feel guilty, but also feel powerless in the face of their attraction to each other. As time goes on, their ... Read More
