Rating: 4/4 --
Hitchcock was above all the master of great visual set pieces, and there are several famous sequences in Strangers on a Train.

Chicago Sun-Times
Hitchcock erects a web of guilt around Granger, who 'agreed' to his wife's murder, a murder that suits him very well, and structures his film around a series of set pieces, ending with a paroxysm of violence on a circus carousel.

"Is there even a more ideal place to hatch a murder, than a train? Easily one of my favorite Hitch flicks!"

Moviejawn
[A] first-rate thriller with odd little kinks now and then. It proceeds, as Hitchcock's films so often do, with a sense of private scores being settled just out of sight.
Chicago Sun-Times
Strangers on a Train is an admirable demonstration of Alfred Hitchcock's virtuosity in the area of suspense dramas.

Hollywood Reporter
The upshot is a perfect Alfred Hitchcock thriller...with a ingenious plot taken from a Patricia Highsmith novel and a memorably seductive villain.

Product Description:
STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, based on the Patricia Highsmith novel, quickly became one of Alfred Hitchcock's most successful thrillers and remains one of his most popular films. En route from Washington, D.C., champion tennis player Guy Haines (Farley Granger) meets pushy playboy Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker). What begins as a chance encounter turns into a series of morbid confrontations, as Bruno manipulates his way into Guy's life. Bruno is eager to kill his father and knows Guy wants to marry a senator's daughter (Ruth Roman) but cannot get a divorce from his wife, Miriam (Laura Elliot). So Bruno suggests the men swap murders, which would leave no traceable clues or possible motives. Though Guy refuses, it will not be so easy to rid himself of the psychopathic Bruno. The film is tightly paced and disturbing from beginning to end, an effect heightened by Hitchcock's inventive camera work, including a terrifying sequence shot through a pair of eyeglasses that have been knocked to the ground.

Hitchcock at his best
Movie Lover: Rob Thibault from
PROVIDENCE, RI US -- August, 9, 2017
I just love this movie. I've watched it many, many times. I never tire of it. The cast is top notch. His daughter Patricia does a fine job as Farley Granger's sister. I especially like the way he shows the murder. The ending is crazy good. Great movie. Check out the suspenseful "Shadow of a Doubt."
