Product Description

Strangers On A Train (BD)

Strange thing about this trip. So much occurs in pairs. Tennis star Guy (Farley Granger) hates his unfaithful wife. Mysterious Bruno • Theatrical Trailer • Languages: English & Français • Subtitles: English, Français & Español (Robert Walker) hates his father. How perfect for a playful proposal: I'll kill yours, you kill mine. Now look at how Alfred Hitchcock reinforces the duality of human nature. The more you watch, the more you'll see. "Isn't it a fascinating design?" the Master of Suspense often asked. Actually, it's doubly fascinating. Final Release Version with Commentary by Director Peter Bogdanovich, Psycho Screenwriter Joseph Stefano, Patricia Highsmith Biographer Andrew Wilson and Several Hitchcock Colleagues, Aficionados and Family Members, Plus the Suspense Master Himself in an Interview Excerpt.

Alfred Hitchcock loved trains. After appearances in his 2 best British films, "The 39 Steps" (1935) and "The Lady Vanishes" (1938) , the train was elevated to star billing along with the 2 male leads in "Strangers on a Train" (1951).Not only does the train move its passengers around, it is the location where one's diabolical "you do my murder, I"ll do yours" plot is hatched and used to seduce the other.
Farley Granger had previously starred in Hitchcock's claustrophobic and homoerotic play adaptation "Rope" (!948}.Here he plays a celebrity tennis player trapped in an unhappy marriage and Robert Walker is a "mamma's boy" acting upon his desire to destroy his disapproving father.
In addition to its overall brilliance, the film's cinematography is rendered in a crisp and clean manner particularly impressive for source material that is over 60 years old. The editing itself is a joy to behold, especially the Walker character obsessively watching the Granger character playing a crucial tennis match. All the other onlookers' heads move back and forth as the tennis ball does. The Walker character's gaze never divorces itself from the subject of his fixation,The entire film is encapsulated in this sequence in a manner that the audience, while absorbing the film's plot, themes and characterizations, also has a good laugh.
The other stunningly edited sequence takes place at the amusement park where the promised murder had occurred. A cigarette lighter and an out of control carousel play leading roles in the film's highly memorable denouement.
Farley Granger has another visual counterpart in Ruth Roman, his fiancee in the film. Both Granger and Roman are striking brunettes, a kind of his and her beauties juxtaposed against the equally dark haired and stylishly dressed Robert Walker, who is the unmoored only child of a dithering mother (the perfectly cast Marion Lorne) and a very wealthy and harsh father who would have him committed. (No argument there but then we'd have no film.)
The other father in the film has 2 daughters, the older one hoping to be married to the tennis player and the other a brainy and caustically humourous girl whose major purpose in the film is to serve drinks and make shrewd observations.She is the bespectacled counterpart to Bruno's unfaithful wife and is played by Hitchcock's only child, Patricia.She is priceless here, as she will be in his masterwork "Psycho" (1960) where she plays Janet Leigh's loquacious and clueless real estate office mate. Patricia Hitchcock plays a much more active and important character here.
The father of the 2 sisters is a United States senator no less, and is played by Leo G. Carroll, a very proper Briton who was the title character's doctor in Hitchcock's "Rebecca" (1940), and would give his final Hitchcockian performance as the head of a federal spy agency in "North by Northwest" (1959).Carroll's presence in "N by NW" helps to close out Hitchcock's extremely successful decade which began with "Strangers" and embraced the other masterpieces "Rear Window" {1954) and "Vertigo" (1958). Most other directors would be happy to have produced one master work in a career. Hitchcock produced four in a decade.His fantastic fifties begins with "Strangers"' which bears repeated viewings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Careful What You Wish For
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2007

In Alfred Hitchcock's suspense classic, "Strangers On a Train", a naive and weary tennis pro unwisely allows himself to be enticed into the confidence of a seemingly silly stranger. Aboard a train bound for New York, Guy, the tennis pro, is shocked to discover how much information the wealthy stranger, Bruno, knows about him. According to Bruno, it's all to be read in the newspapers, especially the gossip concerning Guy's relationship with the daughter of a United States senator, and the ongoing drama with Guy's soon-to-be ex-wife, a good-time gal who's pregnant with another man's child. For his part, Bruno, a rich and spoiled ne'er-do-well, chats amiably about his deep hatred of his father, and how he wishes someone would kill the old man. Off-handedly, he suggests to Guy that they trade murders: Bruno will kill Guy's troublesome wife, and Guy will eliminate Bruno's despised father. By the time Guy disembarks from the train, he has unwittingly entered into a deal with the devil, and his life almost immediately begins to unravel.

Released in 1951, "Strangers On a Train" was based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith (who also authored "The Talented Mr. Ripley"). Though the book allegedly describes an affair between the two protagonists--I don't know because I haven't read it--the film somewhat subtley suggests the unrequited yearning of Bruno for Guy. What is certain is that Guy, well-intentioned though he may be, is no match for Bruno's manipulative wiles.

The fifties was a decade in which Hitchcock, in my opinion, really flourished. At least it seems that he had a solid string of classics, beginning with "Strangers On a Train" and lasting through "Psycho". It's hard for me to think of more than three Hitchcock films that I dislike, and even harder for me to pick five which I would say were better than all the others. However, if pushed, I'd rank "Strangers" in the top five. It's suspenseful, cleverly written, and wonderfully photographed. Robert Walker easily steals the show as the sly and charming psychopath, Bruno. He's animated, funny, and almost likable when he's not strangling someone, or plotting their demise. As Guy, Farley Granger is stuck in the unenviable shadow of Walker: Guy is a well-intentioned, good-looking shlub, boring and (generally) predictable. We root for Guy only because, for all his dullness and general uptightness, he is still more easy for us to identify with than the murderous (but infinitely more interesting) Bruno. As Guy's girlfriend, Ruth Roman is glamorous and has a low, smoky voice that belies the generally wooden quality of her performance. She's a steadfast companion for Granger's Guy, and they somehow seem to belong together. Although it would be remiss of me not to mention the sheer atrociousness of Roman's hairdo in this film. And with not much better hair, but a lot more flair and a screen personality to match, Patricia Hitchcock is breezy and fun as Roman's younger sister. She gives a delightful and natural performance as a young woman whose mild flirtation with Bruno encites him to attempt murder. It's too bad that she didn't appear in more films because she seems like a vibrant comedienne, adding a note of lightness to otherwise dark films ("Psycho" is the only other film that I can think of that the director's daughter appeared in). Leo G. Carroll, as the senator, is fine, and it's interesting to note that Marion Lorne (as Bruno's mother) and Laura Elliott (as Guy's ill-fated wife) would both appear years later in the TV series, "Bewitched", although Elliott would, by then, be known as Casey Rogers.

Less picturesque than many Hitchcock outings--there are no exotic locales such as the French Riviera, Rio de Janeiro, Mt. Rushmore, or a Greenwich Village courtyard, for that matter--"Strangers On a Train", as a film, shares more common ground with the earlier "Shadow of a Doubt". Ostensibly set mostly in Washington D.C. and New York, "Strangers" never feels cosmopolitan; perhaps due to all the familial interactions, it seems more commonplace and "small-town" to me.

For anyone interested in suspense films in general, and Hitchcock, in particular, I highly recommend this film.

I have been a fan of many of Alfred Hitchcock's great screen masterpieces such as Rebecca and North By Northwest, but I was not nearly as familiar with some of his other works including Strangers on a Train. I am now sold on the value of this classic. Three things stand out. It is a terrific mystery, Farley Granger as an innocent but hunted man is a revelation as a terrific actor, and the ending is one of Hitchcock's most memorable film passages. I dislike the word, but it really is "iconic." No one who watches the dramatic carnival set piece will ever forget it. This is outstanding film noir.

Reviewed in Canada on October 15, 2020

"Strangers on a Train" is one of my favourite Hitchcock films. Its plot is compelling though in lesser hands than Hitchcock's it would seem far-fetched and over the top. The director's control over this subject matter, his brilliant cinematic touches, his collaboration with two vital actors, all add up to an enjoyable and absorbing, thrilling whole.

Hitchcock, capitalises on Farley Granger's wholesomeness tinged with some ambiguity as to his sexuality, and on Walker's dizzy, perhaps unbalanced, charm. Both men show considerable development as actors and turn in superb performances. Saying anything more about their relationship would constitute spoilers.

The film is taut and beautifully edited, as in the very famous tennis match and the carousel sequences. The lighting is at times breathtaking; the light and shadow, the uprights like the iron railings behind which we see Walker and a bit later with Granger behind them with him, and any number of other uprights that act ideationally as prison bars.

The transfer to DVD is very good and the extras are both entertaining and informative.

Zwei Männer steigen in Washington in den gleichen Zug Richtung New York. Die Kamera fängt am Anfang lediglich ihre unterschiedlichen Schuhe ein, beide steigen aus einem Taxi und laufen die Bahnhofshallen Richtung Zug entlang.
Der Mann mit den extravaganten, aussergewöhnlichen Schuhen ist ein gewisser Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker), das andere Schuhpaar - modern, aber klassisch und edel - gehört zum aufsteigenden Amateurtennisstar Guy Haines (Farley Granger), der es sogar zu einem gewissen Bekanntheitsgrad aufgrund seines Talents aber auch aufgrund seiner Freundin, der Senatorentochter Anne Morton (Ruth Roman) gebracht hat.
Bruno Anthony erkennt das bekannte Tennistalent und so lernen sich die beiden Männer während der Zugfahrt kennen, sie speissen sogar zusammen in Brunos Abteil.
Bruno kennt Guys private Probleme natürlich bestens aus den Gazetten, daher weiss er auch, dass der Hochzeit mit Anne eigentlich nur noch Guys derzeitige Frau Miriam Joyce Haines (Laura Elliott) im Wege steht.
Und tatsächlich hat Guy vor, seine Frau im Städtchen Metcalf zu besuchen, damit diese nun endlich in die Scheidung einwilligt.
Bruno entpuppt sich am Ende des Gesprächs noch als komischer Psychopath, denn er schlägt Guy den perfekten Mord vor. Er referiert über das Austauschen von Morden, jeweils der Andere begeht den Wunschmord des Anderen, sozusagen über Kreuz. Wenn Bruno Miriam töten würde und Guy ein Alibi hätte, dann könnte man ihm gar nicht nachweisen und Bruno schon gar nicht, da er schon gar nicht mit der Tat in Verbindung gebracht würde. Und so wäre es auch ein leichtes, wenn Guy Brunos verhassten Vater um die Ecke bringen würde. Über Kreuz...Guy nimmt das Gespräch schon gar nicht mehr ernst und sagt da einfach läppisch zu, denn er ahnt ja nicht wie ernst es dieser Bruno mit seiner "Criss Cross" These meint.
Wenig später besucht er Miriam im Schallplattenladen, wo sie arbeitet. Tatsächlich hat die Frau nicht vor in die Scheidung einzuwilligen, denn sie hat bemerkt, dass Guy attraktiver denn je ist und dass er mit dem blöden Tennis sogar noch eine Menge Geld verdienen kann.
Es kommt zum Streit.
Am gleichen Abend lauert bereits Bruno Anthony auf sein Opfer, diese befindet sich mit zwei jungen Begleitern einen Vergnügungspark besucht. Er beobachtet die junge Frau, die dies ebenfalls registriert und sein Verhalten als Interesse deutet. Daher ist es auch ein leichtes sie auf einer kleinen Insel, mit der man zu Boot kommt, zu Tode zu würgen.
Noch in der gleichen Nacht taucht die Polizei beim Senator (Leo G. Carroll) und seinen Töchern Anne und Barbara (Patricia Hitchcock) auf, weil sie Guy suchen, der sofort zum Hauptverdächtigen auserkoren wird.
Natürlich nimmt auch der wahnsinnige Bruno Kontakt mit Guy auf, denn er verlangt nun die Einlösung des zweiten Mordes...
"Der Fremde im Zug" ist einer meiner Lieblingshitchcocks, denn der Film reiht eine geniale Szene nach der anderen auf.
Schon alleine die Anfangssequenz mit den Schuhen bleibt im Gedächtnis. Auch die Szenen auf dem Jahrmarkt bleiben unvergessen: Das Augenspiel, dass Bruno und die ahnungslose Miriam austauschen bis hin zum Mord, den der Zuschauer durch die Spiegelung der Brille mit ansieht.
Darüberhinaus sind alle Rollen perfekt besetzt: Farley Granger war als Guy Haines noch nie so gut und Robert Walker ist der optimale Bösewicht, den stets eine geheimnisvolle Aura umgibt.
Auch Kameramann Robert Burks muss man lobend erwähnen, er schaffte gar 1952 eine Oscarnominierung für seine klasse Leistung mit der Schwarzweiss-Kamera.
Suspence wird in diesem Film sehr großgeschrieben, der Film ist ein echtes, bleibendes Meisterwerk und einer der ganz großen Filmklassiker.

Die Doppel DVD bietet drei verschiedene Versionen des Thrillers an, die deutsch synchronisierte dauert 93 Minuten, die US-Fassung ist 4 Minuten länger. Auf DVD 2 ist auch eine Preview Version mit 10 Minuten längerer Laufzeit als die deutsche Kinoversion.
Darüberhinaus gibts einige Extras.
