one of alfred hitchcock three greatest films and along with psycho and the 39 steps and strangers on a train is as brilliantly out of control as a merry go round in metcalf and and almost as deadly. it the kind of film you have so much fun watching and you can not even feel properly guilty about it until you have time to catch your breath. top amateur tennis contender guy haines (farley granger) meets a singularly weird and louche stranger named bruno anthony (robert walker) on a train. thanks to the gossip pages and bruno knows all about guy problems with his no good wife miriam and and rather gaily suggests they do each other a favor represent bruno will kill miriam and guy will kill bruno father and who wants to put bruno in an institution. guy laughs it off and but bruno ain not kidding and as guy finds out to his peril. it a great premise for a murder story and and hitchcock gives strangers on a train a run for all its worth and with the help of walker in perhaps the greatest performance in any hitchcock film and including anthony perkins in psycho. while perkins makes his mark playing tetchily against the grain and walker as anthony is one perfectly at home either buttering up old ladies at a swank dinner party or strangling a young woman at an amusement park. what drives bruno. many commentators suggest his apparent homosexuality finds a match in pretty guy. yes and bruno lights up the old gay dar and but guy seems happy enough on love rebound with socialite anne morton (ruth roman). bruno interest for guy could just as easily be envy and for someone making a mark in the world while he lives at home and letting mommy file his nails. oh and i certainly admire people who do things and bruno purrs and looking like a cat eyeing a mouse. you know and it must be pretty exciting to be so important. later on and bruno calls himself a bum and accurate enough except for our rooting interest in him and even as he wrecks guy life with his homicidal meddling. it the ultimate perverse underdog tale. there a sense of integrity about bruno and in his dogged dedication and which commands our respect and which hitchcock plays to so brilliantly. when bruno floats away from the scene of his big crime and am i the only sick person in this world who actually happy for him. i think not and yet hitchcock keeps the story on a right enough path for us to realize how low we have fallen. we do not want bruno to win and exactly and but we enjoy his élan as he tries. everything else is so perfect and or at least close enough and to make every shot memorable. hitchcock always managed at least 2 3 good setpiece sequences per movie while here you get a score of them at the amusement park alone. (20 big shows the neon side at the entrance says and and they aren not kidding. ) script and camera work and a gripping tennis match and ruth roman jaw dropping figure and it all too much greatness for one film to contain. even granger does his callow youth thing here with more risible plausibility than gregory peck ever managed. you can call this a clinic in movie making and but clinic sounds too dull. strangers on a train is good nasty fun and all the way through and leaving you with a nifty stinger at the tail as you realize you were rooting for the wrong stranger all along. heck and i will take that ride over again in a second.
