Strangers on a Train -- Hitchcock's super-thriller about two passengers who meet accidentally and plot to 'exchange' murders,a tennis star who wants out of his marriage.

Now, Voyager -- Bette Davis magically plays Charlotte Vale, a spinster who defies her domineering mother (fellow Oscar nominee Gladys Cooper) to discover love, heartbreak and eventual contentment.

Believing her husband to be dead, a flyer's wife bargains with his former love to adopt the woman's baby in this well-made romance starring Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Bette Davis ("All About Eve," "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?"). Oscar-winner Mary Astor ("The Maltese Falcon") and George Brent ("42nd Street") are among the talented cast that make this film so enjoyable. Astor's performance won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Screen legend Bette Davis ("Dark Victory," "All About Eve") earned an Oscar for her powerful portrayal of a tempestuous Southern belle who loses her fiance (Oscar-winner Henry Fonda -- "The Lady Eve," "The Grapes of Wrath") through her cruel behavior. When he becomes stricken by the plague, she realizes the error of her ways and comes to his aid. Nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Co-star Fay Bainter ("Woman of the Year") also received an Oscar. Directed by Oscar-winner William Wyler ("Ben Hur," "The Best Years of Our Lives"). Written by Academy Award and Golden Globe-winner John Huston ("The Maltese Falcon," "The African Queen," "Prizzi's Honor").

Strange thing about this trip. So much occurs in pairs. Tennis star Guy (Farley Granger) hates his unfaithful wife. Mysterious Bruno (Robert Walker) hates his father. How perfect for a playful proposal: I'll kill yours, you kill mine. Now look at how Alfred Hitchcock reinforces the duality of human nature. The more you watch, the more you'll see. "Isn't it a fascinating design?" the Master of Suspense often asked. Actually, it's doubly fascinating. Hitchcock left behind two versions of Strangers on a Train. The original version (Side A) is an all-time thriller classic. A recently found longer prerelease British print (Side B) offers "a startling amplification of Bruno's flamboyance, his homoerotic attraction to Guy and his psychotic personality," according to Bill Desowitz of Film Comment. The laying bare of Bruno's hidden nature, along with the great set pieces (head-turning tennis match, disintegrating carousel) and suspense as only Hitchcock can deliver, makes for a first-class trip.
