Sometimes my favorite Hitchcock movie is The 39 Steps; sometimes it's Rear Window or Vertigo. Lately, it's been Strangers on a Train. Robert Walker as Bruno is the psycho character who lives up to author Patricia Highsmith's creation, and he would've made a great Tom Ripley in a movie version of The Talented Mr. Ripley. Farley Granger is suitably uninteresting; his upright character is Bruno's foil. And, once again, Hitchcock, with Robert Walker's help, makes us care more about the psychotic killer. It just isn't right!
