Strangers on a Train
Manage episode 441398329 series 2865075
Strangers on a Train (1951) may not be an “obvious Hitchcock” like Vertigo, Rear Window, or North by Northwest, but it’s fascinating, rewatchable, and has everything we love in the Hitchcock canon. When Guy Haines (Farley Granger) meets Bruno Antony (Robert Walker), he learns that he might not know himself as well as he thought he did. The whole film is like a ride on the carousel at the end and we’re like the screaming kids, afraid and loving it. Hop on!
Strangers on a Train is based upon Patricia Highsnith’s novel, which you can find here.
