Strangers on a Train

1951, Movie, 1h 41min

Widely considered one of Alfred Hitchcock’s greatest movies, this classic suspense tale taps into the evil that lies hidden just beneath the surface of each of us. When two strangers—tennis star Guy Haines (Farley Granger), whose wife will not grant him a divorce, and wealthy but deranged young Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker), who wants to be rid of his father—happen to meet on a train from Washington to New York, the conversation casually turns to a possibly perfect crime: what if each committed a murder for the other? There is nothing to connect the two men and no apparent motive for either killing. When the trip ends, Guy believes the conversation was hypothetical, and that he will never see Bruno again—but his new acquaintance has surprises in store for him. Hard-boiled crime novelist Raymond Chandler cowrote the screenplay, adapted from a novel by Patricia Highsmith.

Filmen är genomtänkt och det börjar bli uppenbart att Hitchcock kan bygga spänning med en kirurgs precision.
