Either way, it is a thrilling watch, as pro tennis player Guy Haines (Farley CATCH A CLASSIC WARNER BROS.

Granger) has the bad luck of happening to sit next to Antony on a train, and their conversation turns toward Antony suggesting that the two men Antony will kill wife if Haines kills father. Unfor- tunately for Haines, the deranged Antony is not joking at all; he proceeds with his end of the deal and makes life increasingly terrifying for Haines in order to get him to hold up his. The classic climax aboard an out-of-control carousel the only way in which the Master of Suspense delivers a memorable thrill ride with this production. Strangers on a Train is a highlight among other train-based thrillers that TCM is airing starting earlier this morning and continuing through this afternoon.
