STRANGERS ON A TRAIN
Saturday, August 12th at 7:00 PM
Introduction by Film Historian Philip Harwood
“Your wife. My father. Criss cross.” In Alfred Hitchcock’s
standout thriller, adapted from the 1950 novel by Patricia Highsmith,
the cheerful yet malevolent Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker), recognizes
his fellow train passenger, tennis pro Guy Haines (Farley Granger).
After an introduction and a round of drinks, they continue their conversation
over lunch. Revealing his knowledge of Guy’s marital problems, Bruno offers an
interesting proposition: quid pro quo murders. Appalled, Guy declines, but the
chance encounter will set in motion a bizarre and deadly chain of events. (USA,
1951, 101 mins, English | Dir. Alfred Hitchcock)
