Jonathan Hale has 2 titles in the CriticCrunch catalog across a career spanning the 1930s through the 1950s. 1 ranks in the Top 10%, led by Strangers on a Train.
A charming psychopath tries to coerce a tennis star into his theory that two strangers can commit the perfect crime by exchanging murders—each killing the other’s most-hated person.
Dir. Alfred Hitchcock · With Farley Granger, Ruth Roman, Robert Walker
Devout but iron-willed Father Flanagan leads a community called Boys Town, a different sort of juvenile detention facility where, instead of being treated as underage criminals, the boys are shepherded into making themselves better people. But hard-nosed petty thief and pool shark Whitey Marsh, the impulsive and violent younger brother of an imprisoned murderer, might be too much for the good father's tough-love system.
Dir. Norman Taurog · With Spencer Tracy, Mickey Rooney, Henry Hull
