Strangers on a Train [1951]

STRANGE MEETING THAT LEADS TO VIOLENCE. . .AND DEATH While on a journey from Washington to New York, Guy Haines, a champion tennis player, and Burno Anthony meet, quite accidentlly, as strangers on a train. Bruno, it transpires, knows all the details of Guy's public and private lives - including the fact that his desire to marry a senator's daughter is prevented by his wife's refusal to give him a divorce. Bruno casually suggests a solution to Guy's problems: he will kill Guy's wife if Guy, in return will kill his hated father. Both crimes, assures Bruno, can be committed with impunity, for neither will appear to have a motive. Guy indignantly rejects the insane proposal, but Burno, disregarding the rebuff, goes ahead with his part of the plan by strangling Guy's wife to death in a fair ground. It is now Guy's turn to carry out his part of the so-called bargain - and Bruno is determined to see that he does.. Based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith , Strangers On A Train - directed by Alfred Hitchcock, the world's greatest maestro of suspense - will enthrall you from its intriguing opening scene to its justly celebrated climax.
