Synopsis

When two men meet by chance on a train journey, their destinies become irrevocably intertwined. Bruno, a wealthy but troubled man, happens to recognise Guy, who is a well-known tennis player. They discover that they both have someone they would like to see the back of - Bruno’s detested father, and Guy's wife, who he wants to divorce. Bruno suggests that they swap murders. Guy laughs it off, but soon his wife is found dead, and Bruno is getting in touch to find out when Guy is going to fulfil his part of the bargain. Director Alfred Hitchcock's classic mystery thriller is a nail-biting tale of murder and madness that influenced countless thrillers that followed in its murderous footsteps.

What our educators say

"Some of them saw a clip from Wakolda (The German Doctor) on TV recently and really wanted to watch it. So I thought I’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped. "
