The name of the film is 'Strangers on a Train'. Two strangers one is a popular Tennis star of the US, 'Guy' and another rich man in Washington, Bruno meet on train to Washington. The tennis star is so very popular that a lot of gossip is written in news papers, through them the rich man knows about Guy's troubled married life with 'Miriam' and his flirtations with the daughter of the senator. The first wife is such a bully that she has someone's child in her womb and threatens Guy with money. She sends divorce notice and reverts to the plan of bullying the tennis star for money. In the casual conversation the rich man says to Guy that his father is of great trouble to him and he does not want him enjoy life. He loves to kill his father but that will eventually trap him as the murderer as his animosity towards his father is well known. He comes out with an out of the ordinary plan to swap the would be killed. He will kill Guy's wife so that he can be free to marry the senator's daughter and in turn Guy will kill his father and he will be free to enjoy life and also the murders would not tail suspicion on them since the murderers had been strangers to the murdered. Guy does not like the plan and moreover his acquaintance with the man. In a hurry to get down at Metcalf station, Guy misplaces his cigarette lighter that has a strange emblem. Bruno, the rich man lives up to his words and murders Guy's wife. He sends letters and maps of the plan of his house to Guy to murder his father. Guy does not accept his plan and on one particular night goes to meet Bruno's father. Bruno, having been betrayed by Guy, threatens to place his lighter as evidence in the place of the murder. Guy comes to face Bruno who is also followed by police. The high drama ends in the death of Bruno and the freeing of Guy from suspicion on the death of his wife.BALAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748136565259358238noreply@blogger.com
