Together they enter into a murder plot that binds them to one another, with fatal consequences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis Queer Film Classic delves into the homoerotic energy of the film, especially between the two male characters (played by Farley Granger and Robert Walker). It builds on the question of the sexuality the film puts on view, not to ask whether either character is gay so much as to explore the queer relations between sexuality and murder and the strong antisocial impulses those relations represent. The book also includes a look at the making of the film and the critical controversies over Hitchcock's representations of male homosexuality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eQUEER FILM CLASSICS is a critically acclaimed film book series that launched in 2009.
