BOOK CLUB AT THE NFSA IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CANBERRA WRITERS FESTIVAL
When tennis star Guy (Farley Granger) meets playboy Bruno (Robert Walker) on a train, they discuss swapping murder targets, but only Bruno goes through with it.
Alfred Hitchcock squeezes Patricia Highsmith’s novel for all its dramatic tension, in a film that brings the intensity of an illicit affair to the deadly dealings between the two men.
“Hitchcock's study of the guilt that taints the human condition is just one cinematic masterstroke after another.” – The Guardian
The screening will be followed by a discussion of the film and the novel with special guest author Chris Hammer, in conversation with screenwriter Felicity Packard.
