The movie was based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith (of ''[[Ripliad]]'' fame) and had a screenplay originally written by [[Raymond Chandler]] (before he was fired and replaced). The book and the movie are the [[Trope Namer]], [[Trope Maker]], and [[Trope Codifier]] for [[Strangers on a Train Plot Murder]], although there's a lot more to the story than [[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"|just that one trope]]. The 1987 comedy ''[[Throw Momma from the Train]]'' is part parody, part remake and part homage of this film.
