House of StrangersRobinson is brilliant as the ruthless Italian-American financier attempting to control the lives of his four sons. Conte's also pretty good as the naive and devoted son wanting to retain some faith in his father and bring his family back together, but finally having to concede that he has been as much a victim of his daddy's manipulative character as his brothers. With its flashback structure and densely constructed scenes, what is essentially a simple family drama is given a distinct and effective noir edge. The western Broken Lance adapted the same story, five years later.
