Strangers on a Train

Strangers On A Train, a masterpiece, presented here in a finely produced HD release. Great transfer, great black and white contrast. A film of noir moments galore. Robert Walker is fabulous as the twisted Bruno. Buy it! Strangers on a Train Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras: Commentary by Peter Bogdanovich, Peter Benchley, Alfred Hitchcock and many more. Strangers on a Train Preview Version (SD; 1:42:57). This is the so-called "British" version of the film (which was included on the "flipper" DVD a few years ago) which runs about two minutes longer than the final cut and has some alternate takes. Interesting more as an "intellectual exercise" than anything else, but indispensable for those interested in seeing how Hitchcock continued to shape his films after an initial cut. Behind the Story contains these featurettes: Strangers on a Train: A Hitchcock Classic (SD; 36:44) is a nice overview with Peter Bogdanovich and several others discussing the importance of the film in the Hitchcock canon; Strangers on a Train: The Victim's P.O.V. (SD; 7:22) focuses on Kasey Rogers, who performed under the name Laura Elliot in the film; Strangers on a Train: An Appreciation by M. Night Shyamalan (SD; 12:46) has the director espousing his love for Hitch and the film; The Hitchcocks on Hitch (SD; 11:20) features Hitch's daughter and granddaughter talking about Hitch. This includes lots of great home movies; Alfred Hitchcock's Historical Meeting (SD; 1:08) is a weird little snippet without sound that shows Hitch interacting with actors made up as historical characters. Theatrical Trailer (SD; 2:34)

Didn't know of this, so got it out of curiosity . What a brilliant film, incredibly well acted, and really holds your'e attention! Plus the added bonus of the very droll Jimmie Stewart. Proof of how good Hitchcock was. Definitely up there with Psycho.

Review of 2 Disc 2004 Warner Bros edition(with orange & white cover)- As this well known film(from 1951) is equally well analysed & described In many other reviews I'll just give an overview of what's on the discs. Disc1 contains the movie in a good looking & sounding print with optional subtitles + French & Italian language versions and has a very good,entertaining commentary with various people talking about the film, book and much else, with the highlight for 'Hitchophiles' being interview segments of director & Hitchcock biographer Peter Bogdanovich questioning the man himself. + a trailer. Disc2 contains the (slightly longer) 'preview version' of the film,(not greatly different from the 'finished article' but still of interest). + a very good 36 min documentary on the film ,a 7 min feature with 'murder victim' Laura Elliot, an 11 min 'Hitchcock family' feature and a 12min appreciation by director/fan M.Night Shyamalan- so all in all a good package of a film that's always worth another viewing,that's currently available at a good prices.

A diabolique and dark noir all set between a train and some neighborhood, with a confrontation that often becomes morally ambiguous and a direction that shows all HItch's talent in building creating suspense and scary scenes with just the right photography or even the perfect cut and juxtaposition of shots (see how he builds the party scene with the progressive introduction of the bad guy in the initially stiff and upperclass situation). Man on a train is about evil and destiny hiding behind the corner, about life changing in a bit because threat is waiting for us, and it's a fantastic example of great storytelling developing a simple yet effective subject: two men meets on a train, and one word too many could change everything. Waiting for the blu ray to comes out, but this Dvd is truly excellent

Good classic film good seller

Atmospheric good Hitchcock movie.

Loved every minute.the xray screen imformation is so interesting to use.

It was an ok movie but the story was a bit lame.

Ce film de Alfred Hitchcock est plein de suspens jusqu'au dernier instant . Le dvd est en parfait état et les images très belles , le son est un peu "faiblard" parfois mais il suffit d'augmenter le volume .

Un grand Hitchcock, toujours très agréable à revoir. Pour les amateurs du genre.

Einer meiner Favoriten von Alfred Hitchcock. Das Bild der BluRay ist exzellent. Allerdings hat meine DVD Ausgabe (SE mit Bonus DVD) auch schon ein ausgezeichnetes Bild. Ein Umstieg auf BluRay ist insoweit eigentlich nicht erforderlich gewesen, aber das Herz will, was das Herz will.

Magnifica película, excepcional calidad de vídeo (4,5/5) y audio que cumple. Muchos extras, de hecho trae los mismos que la edición USA, por una vez no se han quedado por el camino al cruzar el charco. Incluye entre los extras la versión de la película (en calidad SD y V.O.S.) llamada "Strangers on a Train Preview Version", también llamada "Versión Inglesa" que dura un par de minutos mas y lleva algunas tomas alternativas. Y ademas sale a un muy buen precio, incluso mas barata que en USA. La pega la de siempre, la maldita manía de Warner de no subtitular los audiocomentarios, por lo demás 100% recomendable en todos los sentidos, esta vez Warner merece mi aplauso.

Stranger On a Train is a Amazing Movie. Nobody will forget the character Bruno, a smart young man with villains thought, the most remarkable thing is planing for the murder. Through this movie Alfred Hitchcock once again proved himself as the best director in presenting thrillers.
