Synopsis:Alfred Hitchcock directed this classic suspense tale--widely considered one his best. When two strangers--tennis star Guy Haines and wealthy but deranged young Bruno Anthony--happen to meet on a train from Washington to New York, the conversation casually turns to a possibly perfect crime: what if each committed a murder for the other? Hard-boiled crime novelist Raymond Chandler co-wrote the screenplay of this film adaptation of the novel by Patricia Highsmith.
