Strangers on a Train

A tennis pro meets a stranger (Robert Walker) on a train and confesses that he’d love a way out of his crappy marriage. The two part ways but his wife’s mysterious death in the wake of that conversation subsequently stirs his suspicions. That's the intriguing plot line of Strangers on a Train, a classic film from master director Alfred Hitchcock. The story comes courtesy of noir writer Raymond Chandler who co-adapted the story from a novel by Patricia Highsmith. The film screens at 10 this morning at the Capitol Theatre. Tickets are $6.
