Synopsis
Strangers on a Train is a thriller classic, with set pieces (the head-turning tennis match, the disintegrating carousel) and suspense as only
Hitchcock can deliver. The film is presented here in its original theatrical release and a slightly longer pre-release version which includes some scenes which were too controversial in their day and which offer, according to
Film Comment Magazine, "a startling amplification of Bruno's flamboyance, his homoerotic attraction of Guy and his psychotic personality".
