STRANGERS ON A TRAIN

Robert Walker, Farley Granger

Warner Bros.; Directed by Alfred Hitchcock

Black and White; Not Rated; 101 minutes; 1951

Hitchcock’s favorite "doubles" theme is thoroughly explored in this story of two men who meet on a train and whose destinies become forever linked. Bruno and Guy both want someone dead. Bruno proposes that they exchange murders to eliminate motive and suspicion. The two become trapped in a web of guilty secrets that can only be escaped by death.
