  Strangers on a Train 1951

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  How does anyone come up with the merry go round hand of god death? The shoes, the tie, the glasses, the pants, strangely wardrobe dependant script. What else, the ice cream eating threw me off. Guy was way too understanding and calm about the whole situation, I was fully believing he'd kill the father. He'd already done it once for a hedonistic evil boyfriend, why not. And... Oh yeah, the tennis match suspense and manhole stalling. Genius.
