However, when I was most recently watching these two films, it was the women characters that struck me. For example, Hitchcock scholars and film critics have written repeatedly about the doubling of the male relationships - particularly since Farley Granger appears in both films - and the implication that Brandon and Phillip ( Rope), Bruno and even Guy ( Strangers) are gay.
There are many notable similarities between Alfred Hitchcock’s two films Strangers on a Train (1951) and Rope (1948).
