Review of Strangers on a Train (1951) by Pauline Kael for The New Yorker — 14 Aug 2001
A black comedy, really, based on Patricia Highsmith's source novel - remains a cracking piece of entertainment. It is shot with all his usual invention and style, and a couple of scenes rank among the director's most visually memorable.
