}}Talk About a Stranger is a 1952 American film noir directed by David Bradley and starring George Murphy, Nancy Davis and Billy Gray.[2]

The motion picture was shot by noted cinematographer John Alton, A.S.C.

Plot

The picture tells the story of Bud Fontaine Jr. (Billy Gray) who takes an instant dislike of Matlock, a strange new neighbor in town (Kurt Kasznar).

After his new-found dog turns up dead by poison, Bud blames the stranger and sets off a campaign to smear his name and spread vicious rumors about him.

His parents (George Murphy and Nancy Davis) can't seem to handle the boy. After Bud endangers the crops in the valley by his vandalism of the neighbor's oil tank, and is told the dog was killed by eating poisoned meat meant for coyotes, Bud comes to realize that people are not always what they appear to be.
