Strangers on a Train (1951)


This opening is rather plain, all that is shown is the credits in front of a background that introduces the setting of a train station with classical music playing in the background throughout. The credits end as a car comes into center shot of the area, introducing a character. It is plain but also a good example of how simple an opening can be to introduce the movie, setting and characters to the audience without giving anything away about the plot.
