Product Description

 
STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, based on the Patricia Highsmith novel, quickly became one of Alfred Hitchcock's most successful thrillers and remains one of his most popular films. En route from Washington, D.C., champion tennis player Guy Haines (Farley Granger) meets pushy playboy Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker). What begins as a chance encounter turns into a series of morbid confrontations, as Bruno manipulates his way into Guy's life. Bruno is eager to kill his father and knows Guy wants to marry a senator's daughter (Ruth Roman) but cannot get a divorce from his wife, Miriam (Laura Elliot). So Bruno suggests the men swap murders, which would leave no traceable clues or possible motives. Though Guy refuses, it will not be so easy to rid himself of the psychopathic Bruno. The film is tightly paced and disturbing from beginning to end, an effect heightened by Hitchcock's inventive camera work, including a terrifying sequence shot through a pair of eyeglasses that have been knocked to the ground.

STRANGERS ON A TRAIN: "Criss-cross....."

Date of Review:  Mar 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: Although it is scattered with errors, this is still a good film to watch.
Review: When the 1940s were coming to an end, Alfred Hitchcock had found himself in a bit of a hole. After having directed the successful romantic thriller, Notorious, Hitchcock was having a difficult time living up to the expectations that were being...

Review: You hate somebody for messing up your life. You know your life would be better if they were dead. But how can you get away with this? Easy, get someone else who has no connection with this person to do this. But who? Find someone who has to get rid...
