Strangers on a Train

"This tense Hitchcock thriller starring Harley Granger as Guy, and Robert Walker as Bruno, starts out as a slow burn. Just as with most of Hitchcock's films, the last act is the most suspenseful, building action with every scene. Guy and Bruno meet on a commuter train, and strike up a strange conversation. Bruno steers the conversation from Guy's tennis career into morbid territory, including murder and revenge. The plot is mostly about how a seemingly innocent 😇 encounter can turn dangerous. What a great film. It has been on my watchlist for years, and I can finally stroke it off my list! 👏😁"

"Excellent Alfred Hitchcock movie."

"A nightmare comedy about becoming accidentally but irreversibly entangled with a psychopath."

"It was good. I’m sure it was a hit in the 50s, but for me it was just okay. There were some impressive shots considering when this was made! "

"Still one of my favorite Hitchcock films. The tension just continues to build and build. Great black and white cinematography. "

"The tennis match scene is iconic - a Hitchcock classic!"

"Me and my pals paused this movie for an hour to discuss (heatedly) the decisions of the protagonist. Great Hitchcock film, second only to The Sixth Sense"

"Gay subtext??? Lol"

"Not the best of Hitchcocks work in my opinion but definitely a worthy watch. The way it was shot was very interesting and exceptional for the time. "
