As he had already done in "Rope", in "Strangers on a train" Hitchcock tastefully wades thorugh the homosexual issue but with much better results. Guy (very handsome Farl... Full Review

Strangers On a Train
by Jacob S (movies profile) (Mar 17, 2009)

Suspensful yet silly
by trixster (movies profile) (Oct 12, 2007)

An Underrated Hitch Classic
by Christopher (movies profile) (Feb 19, 2006)
Strangers On A Train was, for Hitchcock, a breakout film. At least some say it was, and evidently Hitchcock worked on it as if it would be one. The problem was, after s... Full Review
