House of Strangers is a 1949 American black-and-white drama film directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and starring Edward G. Robinson, Susan Hayward, and Richard Conte.
[2][3] The screenplay by Philip Yordan and Mankiewicz (who chose to go uncredited) is the first of three film versions of Jerome Weidman's novel I'll Never Go There Any More, the other two adaptations are the Spencer Tracy western Broken Lance (1954) and The Big Show (1961).
Gino Monetti is a rags-to-riches Italian-American banker in New York City whose questionable business practices result in a number of criminal charges.
Three of his four grown sons, the ambitious Joe, playboy Tony, and physically imposing Pietro (a budding prize-fighter), unhappy at their domineering father's dismissive treatment of them, refuse to help Gino when he is put on trial.
Meanwhile, Gino's trial ends in an acquittal, but he remains humiliated by Joe, Tony, and Pietro's betrayal and is directionless without his bank to run.
