- "Strange thing about this trip. So much occurs in pairs. Tennis star Guy hates his unfaithful wife. Mysterious Bruno hates his father. How perfect for a playful proposal: I'll kill yours, you kill mine. Now look at how Alfred Hitchcock reinforces the duality of human nature. The more you watch, the more you'll see. 'Isn't it a fascinating design? the Master of Suspense often asked.
Actually, it's doubly fascinating. For Hitchcock left behind two versions of Strangers on a Train. The original version is an all-time thriller classic. A recently found longer pre=release British print offers 'a startling amplification of Bruno's flambouyance, his homoerotic attraction to Guy and his psychotic personality.' The laying bare of Bruno's hidden nature, along with the great pieces and suspense as only Hitchcock can deliver, makes for a first-class trip." -

- "James Stewart stars with Farley Granger and John Dall in a highly-charged thriller inspired by the real-life Leopold-Loeb murder case. Granger and Dall give riveting performances as two friends who strangle a classmate for intellectual thrills, then proceed to throw a party for the victims's family and friends-with the body stuffed inside the trunk they use for a buffet table. As the killers turn the conversation to committing the "perfect murder." their former teacher becomes increasingly suspicious. Before the night is over, the professor will discover how brutally his students have turned his academic theories into chilling reality in Hitchcock's spellbinding excursion in to the macabre."
