A veteran of seven decades of film history, stage and screen star Farley Granger will appear in person in the Dryden on July 13 at 7 p.m. to present what is perhaps his best-known movie, Alfred Hitchcock’s magnificent thriller, Strangers on a Train.

In Strangers, Granger plays tennis pro Guy Haines, who, 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.

In addition to Hitchcock, with whom he made one more film (Rope), Mr. Granger has also worked with other legendary directors, like Nicholas Ray (They Live By Night), Lewis Milestone (The Purple Heart), Anthony Mann (Side Street), Richard Fleischer (The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing), and, perhaps most notably, Luchino Visconti (Senso). On August 7, you’ll also be able to see him in Vincente Minnelli’s The Story of Three Loves, opposite Leslie Caron.

Farley Granger will introduce Strangers on a Train 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.
