Description
Criss-Cross uncovers the untold story behind Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train, revealing the conflicts, risks, and creative struggles that shaped the film's production. Drawing on extensive research, it explores Hitchcock's comeback after a series of flops, his battle to adapt Patricia Highsmith's controversial debut novel, and the volatile collaborations that defined the project. Set against the politically charged, misogynistic, and homophobic climate of 1950s America, the book situates Strangers on a Train as both a cinematic triumph and a reflection of its troubled era.
