Juliofrank83 below didn’t say, but I bet dollars to donuts that “Throw Momma” was light years better than this piece of garbage. Another offering from the over-rated A. Hitchcock, the so-called “Master of Suspense.” “Master of Bovine…

This movie was remade in the 1980s in Throw Momma From The Train. 🤓

Guy Haines, a famous tennis player, is recognized on a train and drawn into a stranger's twisted murder plot. Robert Walker is excellent as the super-creepy stranger. Plus, you get to watch an old-school tennis match!

A creepy and exciting film about a psycho who befriends a cuckold and in a manipulative way gets him to ambiguously agree to swapping murders, but the cuckold didn't quite agree and doesn't quite go through with his side of the deal,…

THE TWO VERSIONS of Alfred Hitchcock’s marvelous 1951 ‘trading murders’ thriller are both included. The theatrical version runs 101 minutes. The second version, which runs 103 minutes, originally identified as the ‘British’ version, is…

Classic Hitchcock, with a somewhat corny character, Bruno Anthony. Was he really able to extend his hand in the grate to get that cigarette lighter? The merry-go-round scene is unforgettable.

I wasn’t sure if I had seen this Hitchcock film before, so I borrowed it (I had not). Two men get on a train and one guy talks about murdering someone (he wants his father dead, and the other guy would like to be free of a wife since he…

This movie is brilliant. It is nail-biting and one of Hitchcock's best. The acting is great and the plot is great too. This movie, like most Hitchcock movies, is not very violent but still manages to keep you at the edge of your seat.

A very entertaining psychological thriller that keeps the audience on the edges of their seats until the final scene. Both lead actors, Farley Granger, the tennis star, and Robert Walker, the destructive millionaire's son, ratchet up the…

I always had a crush on Robert Walker when I was young and it was great that they interviewed his son recently (who looks like his clone) in the Special Features. Sad that the doctor gave Walker a shot in error when he was in an alcoholic…

I haven't watched too many Alfred Hitchcock movies but this one was amazing! Robert Walker, whom I loved in "The Clock" was extremely creepy in this movie and that's a very good thing. I love seeing a wide range of talents from an actor.…

something about ruth roman's face in a close-up in the last few frames of the film: why wasn't this actress better known? she epitomised all the feeling subliminated and yet symbolically expressed in the final,…

Here's the plan - you kill mine and I'll kill yours. Does it work out? Watch this classic Hitchcock film (based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith) starring Farley Granger and Robert Walker to see what happens.

EH. The ending was dumb, but yeah. Watch if you really have nothing to do.

One of the best by Hitchcock. The ending is a bit comedic and ridiculous, but so many things are well done. My favorite character is the one played by Hitchcock's daughter.

One of Hitch's finest. This movie is all shadow & menace and features Robert Walker is one of the creepiest film characters ever. But he doesn't steal the show. Farley Granger is great as the perpetually confused and angry "duped man." And…

Classic Hitchcock! While en route to his home in Connecticut, tennis star Guy Haines is approached by a fellow train passenger, a very persistent man who seems to know more about him than he’d like. Aware of Guy’s extremely messy divorce…

Alfred Hitchcock makes another masterpiece and again without major stars in the movie. "Stranger on a Train" stars Robert Walker and Farley Granger, which all but forgotten now. Actually this is the best performance that Robert Walker…

This was slow at first, but it does pick up steam. No pun intended. I loved the finally with the fight on the carrousel. Look for the little boy getting into it. Classic Hitchcock for adding that part in. A lovely film for a slow afternoon.
