| Plot |
| In one of Alfred Hitchcock 's suspense classics, tennis pro Guy Haines
( Farley Granger ) chances to meet wealthy wastrel Bruno Anthony ( Robert Walker ) on a
train. Having read all about Guy, Bruno is aware that the tennis player is trapped in an
unhappy marriage to to wife Miriam ( Laura Elliot ) and has been seen in the company of
senator's daughter Ann Morton ( Ruth Roman ). Baiting Guy, Bruno reveals that he feels
trapped by his hated father ( Jonathan Hale ). As Guy listens with detached amusement,
Bruno discusses the theory of "exchange murders." Suppose that Bruno were to
murder Guy's wife, and Guy in exchange were to kill Bruno's father? With no known link
between the two men, the police would be none the wiser, would they? When he reaches his
destination, Guy bids goodbye to Bruno, thinking nothing more of the affable but rather
curious young man's homicidal theories. And then, Guy's wife turns up strangled to death.
Co-adapted by Raymond Chandler from a novel by Patricia Highsmith , Strangers on a Train
perfectly exemplifies Hitchcock's favorite theme of the evil that lurks just below the
surface of everyday life and ordinary men.. -- Hal Erickson |
