Suprisingly boring and disgusting.

This was so good I almost cried. One of the best films I've ever seen.

My third best Hitchcock, after Rear Window and North By Northwest.

Scene on the merry-go-round is spectacular and still very fresh. An absolute classic.

Good source material for "Throw Momma from the Train." Mwa-ha-ha-ha.

I watched the movie after reading the book which was probably a mistake. All I could see was how different the two were from each other. They start the same way but suddenly the movie goes in completely the opposite direction. If you enjoyed the movie, I suggest you read the book, it is even better.

Brilliant, clever movie.. Farley Granger is even better than in Rope.

Most exciting tennis match ever.

In Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train, two strangers meet and one has a macabre idea. What if they each did the other's murder, leaving no trail or motive to follow? What happens, then, when he commits the criss-cross murder, while the other man had no intention of following the crazy plan? Though not as well regarded as some of the others, there are some great Hitchcockian ideas in here, including a device through which the villain's madness becomes apparent, and a tennis match used to ramp up the tension. Great shots of the villain stalking the protagonist as well, pure Hitchcock, that. I personally love the completely insane merry-go-round finale, preferring to think it inventive and exciting rather than ridiculous. I will agree the resolution is a little tepid after that, however, and the police at times embarrassing.

Classic Hitchcock in so many ways. The premise of the movie is both brilliant on paper and likewise on the screen. Many scenes are busting at the seams with cinematic genius like at the Jefferson Memorial and Bruno's motionless face in the tennis crowd. One of my favorite Hitchcock films.

The merry-go-round scene was superb! Overall it was a pretty good movie, but not great.

Guy is just stupid. Also, it would be impossible for Bruno to get the lighter from the drain on the street.
Still, the movie is very entertaining, intriguing and suspenseful.
