Schmeiß die Mama aus dem Zug (1987)
Der Schriftsteller und Literatur-Dozent Larry Donner erleidet eine kreative Krise, nachdem seine Frau ihn verlassen und mit einem seiner Romanstoffe Erfolg hatte. Owen Lift, ein Schüler Larrys, leidet unter dem Regiment seiner bösartigen Mutter. Hitchcocks Thriller "Der Fremde im Zug" liefert Owen die Lösung: morden über Kreuz, jeder begeht den Mord des anderen. Larry allerdings fällt aus allen Wolken, als Owen Vollzug meldet. Glücklicherweise wendet sich alles zum besten: Owens Mutter stirbt an Altersschwäche, Larrys Frau taucht wieder auf und Schüler und Dozent erringen ihren Bucherfolg mit der Verarbeitung des Abenteuers.
