Editorial Reviews

Freely adapted by Raymond Chandler and others from Patricia Highsmith's classic novel of obsession, Strangers on a Train puts a refreshing spin on Alfred Hitchcock's familiar theme of an innocent man caught up in a web of murder and deceit. Good-for-nothing playboy Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker) meets social-climbing tennis pro Guy Haines (Farley Granger) on a train and offers a lethal hypothetisis: Bruno will murder Guy's trampy wife if, in exchange, Guy will murder Bruno's father. The idle train chatter turns out to be all too real, and Guy's refusal to carry through with his end of the bargain drives a frustrated Bruno to desperate lengths. Hitchcock builds the suspense masterfully, using Guy's own guilt over the realization of his subconscious desires as a means to keep him from seeking help from the police until it's almost to late. The film positively brims with unforgettable sequences, most notably the taut, noirish murder sequence -- steeped in shadows, reflections, and canted angles -- and the harrowing, over-the-top carousel-bound finale.

November 18, 2003: This movies is one of the four Hitchcock movies with on screen murders. It is stranger how he does it too. I can't explain because I do not want to ruin the movie, but it is hidden. He also uses his wrong man theme is this movie that shows up so often. It is again another ultra-realist film, a melodrama. An insane person can propose a deal such as Bruno's to anyone and drive them crazy. This movie is undeniably one of Hitchcock's best. The elements of film that he uses are incredible. Many people say that his later films were his more influencial, but it is in this film that you can see the beginning of Hitchcock's development into them.
