Synopsis:
A ruthless banker uses his four sons in any way necessary to build his empire in HOUSE OF STRANGERS. However, when the favorite goes to prison for his father's sins, the other three stage a coup and drive the older man to his death, prompting the incarcerated brother to swear an oath of vengeance to be exacted upon his release. Possessing an often imitated, but never duplicated, plot line, this intense movie was directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz (ALL ABOUT EVE, GUYS AND DOLLS).
