"Do Revenge" is loosely based on the concept of the 1950 psychological thriller "Strangers on a Train" by Patricia Highsmith. The book, also adapted for a feature movie by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951, follows two men who decide to swap each other's murders. In one of her initial scenes, Eleanor sits on the grass while reading "Strangers on a Train" at tennis camp. What's more? The name of the country club, Haines Club & Courts, seems to have derived from one of the central characters in the aforementioned book, Guy Haines.
