Strangers on a Train

A chance encounter leads to a Faustian bargain in the beloved Hitchcock classic based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith. A tennis pro (Farley Granger) and a seductively smooth-talking psychopath (Robert Walker) are two Strangers on a Train, but their hypothetical conversation about getting rid of the problem people in each other’s lives could have dangerously real consequences in this taut nailbiter.

“Ranked among Hitchcock’s best … and its appeal is probably the linking of an ingenious plot with insinuating creepiness.” – Roger Ebert

“Hitchcock’s handling of the suspense is deadly effective and a quality cast breathe life into some delicious dialogue.” – Film4

“Given a good basis for a thriller in the Patricia Highsmith novel and a first-rate script, Hitchcock embroiders the plot into a gripping, palm-sweating piece of suspense.” – Variety

The Clock

It’s wartime, and young people are rushing into hasty – sometimes unwise – marriages. But not pretty, levelheaded Alice. Then she meets Joe, a G.I. on a two-day pass, and falls heart-over-level head in love. Judy Garland and Robert Walker are sweethearts for the ages in this glowing valentine of a movie directed by Vincente Minnelli (who, to add another layer of radiant romance, was about to marry his leading lady). And New York itself takes a role, transforming the whirlwind courtship into a love triangle. The city helps and hinders, holding the young lovers in a warm embrace one moment, then tossing up funny, frustrating roadblocks the next. The National Board of Review named The Clock one of the Top 10 movies of 1945. Film fans rate it even higher. They know The Clock is timeless, one of the great cinema loves of a lifetime.
