(Alfred Hitchcock, US 1951, 101 min., 35mm)
Tennis pro Guy Haines (Farley Granger), traveling by train, meets the charming but psychopathic Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker). Before you can say “Criss Cross,” Guy’s made a Faustian deal with Bruno that leads to murder. Filled with witty, dark humor and two marvelous lead performances, Strangers on a Train builds to one of the most suspenseful conclusions in all of Hitchcock. A veteran of seven decades of film history, acclaimed actor Farley Granger will introduce the film and answer questions following the screening in a session moderated by film historian Foster Hirsch. After the discussion, he will sign copies of his new memoir, Include Me Out: My Life from Goldwyn to Broadway, written with Robert Calhoun. Books will be available for purchase in the Eastman House Store. Tickets $10; $8 members and students.
