Strangers on a Train backdrop

Strangers on a Train 1951 Directed by Alfred Hitchcock

It starts with a shriek of a train whistle... and ends with shrieking excitement!

Having met on a train, a smooth-talking psychotic socialite shares his theory on how two complete strangers can get away with murder to an amateur tennis player — a theory he plans to test out.
