STRANGERS ON THE TRAIN is one of the most influential thrillers ever made and the first to be adapted from the work of Patricia Highsmith. Farley Granger and Robert Walker play two strangers who meet on a train and decide that life would be much easier if each ‘took care of’ a problematic person in the other’s life. Unfortunately for one of the men, the other is taking this hypothetical conversation much, much too seriously.
Double feature with FAMILY PLOT
