Strangers on a Train [Blu-ray]

Alfred Hitchcock directed this classic suspense tale--widely consideredone of the master's best works--tapping into the evil that lies hiddenjust beneath the surface of each of us. When two strangers--tennis starGuy Haines (Farley Granger), whose wife will not grant him a divorce,and wealthy but deranged young Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker), who wantsto be rid of his father--happen to meet on a train from Washington toNew York, the conversation casually turns to a possibly perfect crime:what if each committed a murder for the other? There is nothing toconnect the two men. No apparent motive for either killing. When thetrip ends, Guy believes the conversation was hypothetical, and that hewill never see Bruno again. Then his wife is murdered . . . and Brunoreturns for payback. Hard-boiled crime novelist Raymond Chandlerco-wrote the screenplay of this film adaptation of the novel by PatriciaHighsmith.
