Part of the FULL SPEED AHEAD Maine Train Film Fest
Introduction by Alicia Malone, TCM host and author (Girls on Film: Lessons from a Life of Watching Women in Movies)
A chance encounter in the club car of a passenger train between an amateur tennis player (Farley Granger) and a charismatic fellow traveler (Robert Walker) sparks a provocative though purely speculative plan: how to “exchange” murders to solve their respective family problems. When one man appears more serious about the idea, a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse ensues as the other man finds his life unraveling from suspicions and guilt. Hitchcock’s adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel is widely praised for its unsettling exploration of fate and the dark dualities of human nature.
