The Train Freak (1951)
8.0
1951 / United States / Crime Thriller Film Noir / Alfred Hitchcock / Farley Granger and Robert Walker

When I first watched it, it was said that there was someone in it who had acted as Imperious, but I didn't find it myself, and I was a little surprised.

Bruno negotiated with Guy and killed each other who bothered him, but Guy refused. But Bruno did not give up. He killed Guy’s wife and threatened him to kill his father. However, after he killed Guy’s wife, Guy was investigated by the police as a suspect. He knew the real murderer, but he couldn't tell the truth.

Later, Bruno negotiated with Guy and asked him to kill his father in exchange, but Guy refused at this time, but he was threatened by him with profit. Finally, the detective noticed him and followed him until the end. In the amusement park, the series of things that happened to the merry-go-round made people laugh and laugh, and it seemed that Guy was innocent in the end.

This movie has a consistent style, and it's pretty good and interesting.

    7.3. The carousel is one of the classic scenes in the history of genre films, but the story is relatively weak in Hitchcock's films

    The last merry-go-round is really a stroke of genius. Under Xifa's camera, love is like murder, murder is like love, and the competition on the out-of-control merry-go-round and even the killing intent are like a crazy love, full of climaxes and full of sexual hints. Tennis as a common symbol in Western movies is also well represented in this film. The soundtrack is too much, the plot itself is very powerful, but the overcrowded soundtrack is superfluous.
