''Stranger on the Third Floor'' is a 1940 film noir, starring Peter Lorre and released by RKO Radio Pictures. The film was directed by Boris Ingster and written by Frank Partos with Nathanael West (uncredited).〔 ''Stranger on the Third Floor'' is often cited as the first "true" film noir of the classic period (1940–1959),〔〔〔 though other films that fit the genre such as ''Rebecca'' and ''They Drive by Night'' were released earlier.〔 Nonetheless, it has many of the hallmarks of film noir: an urban setting, heavy shadows, diagonal lines, voice-over narration, a dream sequence, low camera angles shooting up multi-story staircases, and an innocent protagonist falsely accused of a crime who is desperate to clear himself. ==Plot== Reporter Michael Ward is the key witness in a murder trial. His evidence – that he saw the accused Briggs standing over the body of a man in a diner – is instrumental in having Briggs found guilty. Afterwards Ward's fiancee Jane is worried whether Ward was correct in what he saw and Ward becomes haunted by this question. Next, Ward's neighbor is killed the same way as the man in the diner, but Ward is arrested for trying to point this out to the police. As a result, Jane goes out to try to clear Ward by finding the sinister stranger that Ward saw on the stairwell.
