Strangers on a Train

Alfred Hitchcock
1951
101 min

Movie Summary: 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.
Queer Film LA Says: Based on the novel by lesbian Patricia Highsmith, starring bi actor Farley Granger (who came out in his 2007 memoir), this Hitchcock thriller is hardly subtle--with its queer-coded villain serving as a doppleganger for everything our meek protagonist wishes he could be.
