Two strangers, making idle chitchat on a train, agree that "some people are better off dead", and hypothetically speculate that if they swapped murders, they could commit the perfect, motiveless crime. Only later does one of the men realise that the other was serious about his murderous intentions. This first-class thriller from Alfred Hitchcock is based on a Patricia Highsmith novel and was co-scripted by Raymond Chandler.
