One of the Best Alfred Hitchcock's Movies Ever Made
11 August 2003
Guy Haines (Farley Granger) is a famous tennis player who occasionally meets Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker) during a travel by train. Guy is divorcing his wife Miriam and intends to marry with Anne Morton (Ruth Roman), the daughter of Senator Morton (Leo G. Carroll). Bruno proposes Guy to trade places in a murder: he would kill Miriam, and Guy would kill his father. This would be the perfect crime, with no suspects with motives for the murder. This film is still a masterpiece: both the British Version and the American Version (with a laconic end) are excellent. The B&W photography is marvelous. One of the best Hitchcock's movies ever made. My vote is ten.

Title (Brazil): "Pacto Sinistro" ("Sinister Pact")
