Heelllooo! Sounds exactly the same.

It is pretty much the same, but I don't think they were trying to fool anybody. It's a Hitchcock/Patricia Highsmith homage with a lesbian twist.

It certainly started out as Strangers on a Train, but it had enough twists and innovations to come off as being halfway original.

Didn't see that movie. Didn't know things were so out in the open gay-wise in the 1950s. And, were all the twists about the backstory and the ending the same?

Are you trolling? The OP was obviously talking about the central plot device, not every single detail of the film.

And FYI in the 50's they were not allowed to show "gay" stuff in film, but pre-censorship it was not a problem. In The Public Enemy a very obviously gay tailor clearly hits on James Cagney while suiting him up. That was 1931.

'Then' and 'than' are different words - stop confusing them.

Spot on

Mix Strangers on a train with Wild Things and you get this.
