My Views Farley Granger is not a good actor Log 2025-Apr-18 2022-Feb-23 Plot Amateur tennis star Guy Haines wants to divorce his promiscuous wife, Miriam, so he can marry Anne Morton, the daughter of a US Senator. On a train, wealthy smooth-talking psychopath Bruno Antony recognizes Haines and reveals his idea for a murder scheme: two strangers meet and "swap murders"—Bruno suggests he kill Miriam and Guy kill Bruno's hated father. Each will murder a stranger, with no apparent motive, so neither will be suspected. Guy humors Bruno by pretending to find his idea amusing but is so eager to get away from Bruno that he leaves behind his engraved cigarette lighter. Guy meets Miriam, who is pregnant by someone else, at her workplace in Metcalf, their hometown. Guy gives her the money she demanded to pay for a divorce lawyer, but Miriam tells him she is no longer interested in a divorce, and threatens to claim that he is the father if he pursues a divorce.

  James Stewart was 50 years old, in "love" by a young blond girl half his age Kim Novak was a 25 years old, poor girl in "love" by a mid-age guy He forced himself into her hotel apartment, unannounced, and start controlling her life. Typical case of phycological domestic violence...What a difference from the movies in made between 1920s and 1940s.

  Henry Fonda was 51 years old (and plays a 38 years old guy) Vera Miles was 27 years old

  James Stewart was 48 years old Doris Day was 34 years old Remake of a film with same name from 1934.

  James Stewart was 46 years old Grace Kelly was 25 years old Wendell Corey was 40 years old Thelma Ritter was 52 years old Raymond Burr was 37 years old

Grace Kelly was  24 years-old Ray Milland was 47 years old Robert Cummings was 44 years old John Williams was 51 years old

 

 

Compared to other others made by him, on previous years, this one has a terrible treatment of women. It will be interesting to understand if it is caused by "The Code", country (USA), or time (1943). Very average piece of work. 

Robert Cummings was 32 years-old Priscilla Lane was 27 years-old Norman Lloyd was 28 years old Otto Kruger was 57 years old Alan Baxter was 34 years old Alma Kruger was 71 years old Dorothy Peterson was 45 years old Clem Bevans was 62 years old

 

  Away from the US puritanism. No "The Code" influence. Woman don't talk about man. They talk about themselves and what they are doing.

Women in lingerie and the hotel servant does not make a fuzz Two guys sharing a single's bed, sharing a pyjama: one with the top and the other with the bottom No one calls her crazy or lunatic. they come with normal and rational explanations Rubbish inside the train throw from the window. The rubbish splash on all windows...disgusting
