''We Were Strangers'' is a 1949 adventure–drama film directed by John Huston and starring Jennifer Jones and John Garfield. The film, set in 1933, concerns a group of revolutionaries attempting to overthrow the Cuban regime. The story is based loosely on Robert Sylvester's novel ''Rough Sketch''.〔(We Were Strangers ) at Allmovie〕 Between making the classics ''Treasure of the Sierra Madre'' (1948) and ''The Asphalt Jungle'' (1950), John Huston made "We Were Strangers." The film was released in April 1949 at the beginning of the HUAC Committee hearings on communist infiltration in the U.S.A. It received mixed reviews, and soon vanished from theaters. American audiences were perplexed by it, its largely Hispanic cast did not resonate with white Americans, and its shocking presidential assassination theme may have offended some sensibilities.〔http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/3862/We-Were-Strangers/articles.html〕〔https://books.google.com/books?id=1cjUuEhV1skC&pg=PA228&lpg=PA228&dq=We+Were+Strangers+(film)+criticism&source=bl&ots=fQkFzuvpX0&sig=eAqfE9NS6vjM8bTNyQGD_kz_JYg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CGsQ6AEwC2oVChMIlfbr3PCtxwIVSaYeCh1ktgK9#v=onepage&q=We%20Were%20Strangers%20(film)%20criticism&f=false〕 ==Plot== Based on the overthrow of Cuban dictator Gerardo Machado y Morales in 1933, the story is about a group of revolutionaries who plot to bring down their corrupt government. China (pronounced Cheena) Valdez (Jennifer Jones) witnesses her brother's murder after he distributes leftist pamphlets and vows that she will kill his assassin. At his funeral, however, she is persuaded to join an underground group whose moves are more carefully orchestrated. China's house is next door to a cemetery and the leader of the group John Fenner (John Garfield) devises a scheme to assassinate an official whose family plot is in the cemetery and detonate a bomb at the man's funeral thereby killing as many officials as possible. To do this, they must dig a tunnel from China's house to the cemetery. Much of the movie focuses on the digging of the tunnel while Garfield and Jones develop a romantic interest in each other. The film climaxes with a violent shoot-out sequence.
