We're back in Hitchcock territory talking about queer villains again with 1951's Strangers on a Train.

In addition to queer author Patricia Highsmith's source material, we've got lead actor Farley Granger (Rope), obsessive stalking, "I like you" and shirt buttoning, plus climactic fucking on the carousel.

Plus: a tense tennis match, a reflective murder, slutty Miriam, frequent subversions, surprising comedy, and MVP Pat Hitchcock as Babs!
