[[Category:Influences on Morrissey - Film and Television]] [[File:The Strange One.jpg | 200px | right | thumb |The Strange One poster]] ==Relevance== Morrissey discusses this film at length in [[Mention::Autobiography]].<br> A small excerpt:<br> <blockquote> "Two feature films of nervous vitality lock in my brain and possibly poison it forever. The first is The Strange One (1957), where de Paris pathologically infects the entire population of the world with his talent for bully tactics and his persistent offensiveness. Only articulate disdain for humanity saves him, and his rein of terror at a military school in Florida is remarkable solely for lasting as long as it does β even though it seems morally inevitable that he will end up being tied to a tree. His looks and style are far more penetrating than the God-fearing toothsome goofs around him β all of whom he breaks and wounds because they pay him far too much attention (or even because they show him none). De Paris is star quality and is not short on wit, thus I cannot help thinking that the common evil of his childishly dangerous ploys should be accepted by reason of his magnificent oeuvre alone β which in itself is certainly worth having. I think so, anyway..." </blockquote>
