Worldwide first on Blu-ray!

From director John Huston (The Maltese Falcon, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre) comes the 1949 historical thriller We Were Strangers, which takes us deep underground and into the heart of a revolution.

China Valdés (Jennifer Jones) is a Havana bank clerk whose world shatters when her brother is gunned down by the secret police. Hell-bent on revenge, she joins American expatriate Tony Fenner (John Garfield) and his underground revolutionaries in a daring plot - tunnelling beneath a cemetery to plant a bomb and wipe out the president and his officials in one blow. But as the police close in and tensions between China and Tony rise, will the revolution detonate before it’s buried?

Huston established his own company, Horizon Pictures, to finance the film, drawing on the true story of a plot to assassinate dictator Gerardo Machado. It was controversial upon release, and a bold answer to the anti-Communist witch hunts which then had Hollywood gripped, and even saw star John Garfield himself under suspicion.

1500 copies only.
