Classic nail-biter is a must for thriller fans.

Winds up with a scene in which a merry-go-round goes wild, spins like a pin wheel, and crashes in a gaudy blaze of explosions that no earthly carrousel could touch off. The movie itself is the same way: implausible but intriguing and great fun to ride.

Hitchcock was above all the master of great visual set pieces, and there are several famous sequences in Strangers on a Train.
