Alfred Hitchcock transforms a chance meeting into a perfect engine of suspense in “Strangers on a Train.” When two men casually discuss “swapping murders,” one takes the idea deadly seriously. Featuring some of Hitchcock’s most notable set pieces – including the legendary carousel climax – the film is a chilling study of doubles, guilt, and the terrifying ease with which violence can be set in motion.
