In-Person: Book-to-Film Discussion "Strangers on a Train"

Celebrating 75 years! Read Patricia Highsmith’s 1950 debut thriller, Strangers on a Train, then join us for a viewing of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1951 film adaptation followed by a brief discussion led by Jackie Ranaldo, Head of Readers’ Services. Copies of the book will be available at the Circulation Desk one month before the discussion. 

When two strangers-- tennis star Guy Haines (Farley Granger), whose wife will not grant him a divorce, and a wealthy but deranged young Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker), who wants to be rid of his father happen to meet on a train from Washington to New York. Their conversation casually turns to a perfect crime...what if each committed a murder for the other. 

Rated PG 101 minutes
