Synopsis

Alfred Hitchcock directs this classic suspense tale, tapping into the evil that lies hidden just beneath the surface in each of us to weave a dark plot of murder.

When two strangers, tennis star Guy Haines (Farley Granger), whose wife will not grant him a divorce; and wealthy but deranged young Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker), who wants to be rid of his father, 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? There is nothing to connect the two men. No apparent motive for either killing.

When the trip ends, Guy believes the conversation was hypothetical, and that he will never see Bruno again. Then his wife is murdered . . . and Bruno returns for payback.

    You scratch my itch, I'll scratch yours.

    06 December 2008
    Once Alfred Hitchcock said that good movie requires three things, good script, good script and good script. Surely this thing is very much depicted in this movie. The movie is about a tennis player (Fraley Granger) who has an unfaithful wife and a beautiful girlfriend. In the train he meets with a stranger (Robert Walker) who is infatuated to kill his father. Farley tells him about his chronics and casually stranger offers a very compelling proposal that I kill yours and you kill mine. And that the point where Hitchcock captivates his audience. Hitchcock had handled the neurotic sense of the movie immaculately and it mesmerizes you till the end of the movie. All the cast performed very well and the plot was very persuasive. No doubt its one of the best works of Hitchcock and for Hitchcock fans it's very much indulging.
