A Stranger Came by Train

1974 · 107 min Crime Drama
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

An American gangster of Swedish origins returns to his homeland to set up shop as a morality crusader, much in the manner of the later phenomenon of televangelists. While indulging in behind-the-scene shenanigans including rape and murder, the gangster (played by American Clu Gulagher) preaches to large audiences, using mass hypnotism and show-biz razzmatazz to get his message across. The film also features a brief performance by Per Oscarsson, following his highly publicized "retirement" from screen acting.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

A Stranger Came by Train is an acquired taste at 5.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1974. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
