Strangers on a Train: The Victim's P.O.V. (2004)

*** (out of 4)

This eight-minute featurette features an interview with Kasey Rogers who was the victim in Alfred Hitchcock's STRANGERS ON A TRAIN. Rogers, who was working for Paramount under the name Laura Elliot, discusses how she got loaned out and then goes into detail about her scenes in the movie. She talks about how Hitchcock let her select the glasses that her character would wear in the film and she also states that this left her blind and she needed the help of Robert Walker to get through her scenes. She then gives a lot of detail about her murder sequence and how Hitchcock wanted it shot and what she and Wagner had to do to pull it off. She talks about how disappointed she was that the movie really didn't change her career and she admits that this bothers her. This is a pretty good interview because not only does it give you a great idea of the shooting of the murder sequence but it also shows what it was like to be loaned out to someone like Hitchcock and then the next week your back doing nothing. Rogers comes off very charming and her honesty about her feelings was a major plus.
