Part of Depot's Book to Film Club
In Alfred Hitchcock's adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's thriller, tennis star Guy Haines is enraged by his wife's refusal to finalise their divorce so he can wed senator's daughter Anne.
He strikes up a conversation with a stranger, Bruno Anthony, and unwittingly sets in motion a deadly chain of events.
'The power of the story - adapted from the novel by Patricia Highsmith - lies in its simplicity, and Hitchcock's piles on the sinister layers as only he can' - Emma Cochrane, Empire
