The strangers meet -
I published the first of several posts on Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece, Strangers on a Train, on my blog on theasc.com.
In my post I discuss the innovative 2-minute introduction of the characters, using only shots of their shoes. I also compare the shooting script to the film, to see if Hitch added anything while shooting. And I look at director François Truffaut’s vision of Hitchcock as an auteur, saying “the same script shot by someone else would have made a bad film.”
