Stephen Wyatt - Strangers on a Film
4 Extra Debut. Dramatisation of the famous collaboration between Raymond Chandler and Alfred Hitchcock on Strangers on a Train. With Patrick Stewart and Clive Swift.
By Stephen Wyatt. To accompany Radio 4's Classic Chandler season, Patrick Stewart plays Raymond Chandler and Clive Swift is Alfred Hitchcock in their famous collaboration on 'Strangers on a Train'. In 1950, Alfred Hitchcock invited Raymond Chandler to work with him on a screenplay based on Patricia Highsmith's novel. Chandler was not only recognised as a fine novelist and had also received an Academy Award nomination for his original screenplay, The Blue Dahlia. The omens were good but their collaboration turned out to be a disaster.
Directed by Claire Grove.
