The beautiful design of the spectacular park along the High Line pays tribute to its history as a an elevated railway. That history is also being honored by “All Aboard! Trains on Film,” a screening series that began last week and continues tonight with the Billy Wilder comedy classic Some Like It Hot, in which Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon dress up as women and join a band to escape the mob and wind up falling for singer Marilyn Monroe. Unfortunately for Lemmon, Joe E. Brown falls for him. The film will be shown in the 14th St. Passage at 7:00, while next Friday night features Alfred Hitchcock’s tense psychological thriller Strangers on a Train, in which Robert Walker hatches a crazy plot in which he will kill someone for Farley Granger in exchange for Granger killing someone for him. Little does Granger realize that Walker is dead serious.
