Thrilling and Frightening Suspense...
STRANGERS ON A TRAIN is a great movie. It isn't quite 5-stars, but it is a wonderfully tense and engaging thriller. There is no language or sex, though it is stated that Guy's wife is pregnant by another man. There is an onscreen murder (strangling) but it isn't graphic. Several scenes are tense, but not too tense for family movie night.

A Suspence Filled Feature
This thriller is truly a nail bitter that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Younger children will probably be disturbed by the film.

May scare younger ones
Great Alfred Hitchcock movie! Some iffy stuff though with Guy and his wife at the beginning. He is getting divorced because she has been having affairs with other men and she is pregnant. But it's a brief moment and really only mentioned once. The violence is very minimum also!

A great suspense movie for families! It's definitely suspenseful enough for parents and not too scary for older kids (a mature 9+). One of Alfred Hitchcock's best movies I have seen.

Excellent cinematography
There is one scene in particular involving glasses that everyone who's seen the movie knows what I'm talking about that is truly genius. Another classic Hitchcock film, keeping you on your toes most of the time. The premise is interesting, and Robert Walker's performance is especially entertaining.

Way too much for a PG. Not the best Hitchcock at all.
My rating: PG-13 for violence/tension including murder scenes, some suggestive content and references, and for smoking and alcohol use throughout.
