Strange thing about this trip. So much occurs in pairs. Tennis star Guy (Farley Granger) hates his unfaithful wife. Mysterious Bruno (Robert Walker) hates his father. How perfect for a playful proposal: I'll kill yours, you kill mine. Now look at how Alfred Hitchcock reinforces the duality of human nature. The more you watch, the more you'll see. "Isn't it a fascinating design?" the Master of Suspense often asked. Actually, it's doubly fascinating. Hitchcock left behind two versions of Strangers on a Train. The original version (Side A) is an all-time thriller classic. A recently found longer prerelease British print (Side B) offers "a startling amplification of Bruno's flamboyance, his homoerotic attraction to Guy and his psychotic personality," according to Bill Desowitz of Film Comment. The laying bare of Bruno's hidden nature, along with the great set pieces (head-turning tennis match, disintegrating carousel) and suspense as only Hitchcock can deliver, makes for a first-class trip.
Two strangers meet on a train. They’ve never met before. Both of whom have someone they’d like to murder. So, they swap murders. A psychopath shares this concept with tennis star Guy Haines, whose wife refuses to get a divorce. He agrees, thinking it is a joke. But now his wife is dead, Haines finds himself a prime suspect and the man wants Guy to kill his father.

Strangers on a 🚉....Alfred Hitchcock's film is nothing short of a masterpiece. Robert Walker's character, Bruno Antony, is a study of a crazed psychopath that is frightening. Farley Granger's Guy Haines is not a sympathetic character, rather he is unlikeable.Mr. Hitchcock involves the viewer totally with these two characters. Ruth Roman is very good as the more than understanding, yet wary girlfriend. An excellent film..Score: 5/5

Hitchock at his usual best.Even though it's one of Hitchcock's lesser known works, "Strangers On A Train" still maintains all of its cleverness and cunning plot after all of these years. With creepy performances from the lead actors and an amazing tension built throughout, Hitchcock succeeds once again at creating a film that is both smart and eerie withouth ever crossing the line either way..Score: 5/5

Stranger's On a Train (3.5 mics)With perfect sincerity and honesty, I personally think from my perspective this is one of Alfred Hitchcock dissapointing films. I've seen three of Hitchcock many movies (To Catch a Thief, Rope & Vertigo), and this considerably ranks below the standard Hitchcock film. It's primarily about a well known tennis player a moderately known individual for his talent for the sport, who appartently runs into a sickly demented (potential homosexual) who has a infactuation with murders. Bruno (the demented psychopath) comes up with a plan to kill Guy's wife (tennis player) in exchange for Guy to murder his wealthy father. The thing that dissapointed me most about the film was the adapted screenplay, it ranks quite short in significance in comparison to the majority of Hitchcock's other films. However this is indeed well directed (as well as all the Hitchcock films I've seen up to this point, however this Cinematography has many flaws), but the thing that really dissapointed me regarding the movie is the lack of psychological depth portrayed in To Catch a Thief, Rope & Vertigo. So it ranks from my perspective short of a memorable film..Score: 4/5
BrilliantYou cannot afford to not watch this, whether you're a self proclaimed classic film buff, or someone that hates black & white cinema, you will love this film! Guaranteed! If you don't like it maybe you should think about reading books rather than watching movies, because this is about as good as it gets!.Score: 5/5
A beautiful classic.This movie is full of suspense..Score: 5/5
Good idea in theory-extremely poor screenplay& filmThe premise is good but to then show up at the house/party and explain why poison is a bad idea but then demonstrates how the person most, if not everyone @the party knew, died in your pointless example of how you just killed the person in question is just plain dumb. He puts the gun down WHY ON EARTH WOUOD YOU DO THST!!? I thought this was supposed to be a classic..Score: 1/5
