Not exactly the same story, but I noticed that both The Manchurian Candidate (book and movie) and Strangers on a Train (movie; haven't read the book but heard it's the same on this detail) are about the troubles that befall those who get involved with a US senator's daughter.
Both stories (and especially details of the movies) are alluded to via clues on Lost. Condon's novel, The Manchurian Candidate, I read 2 years ago after my housemate Steve died and I picked up his copy, although Damon Lindelof's father David had shown me the video years ago. After I read it, I realized what Lost characters meant when they referred to "candidates". I also gathered from clips of Strangers on a Train that I should see that movie in connection with Lost, and I got my opportunity a few weeks ago while in the hospital following a heart attack, it being on Turner Classics as part of some railroad-themed sequence of movies they were showing.
Strangers on a Train was one of 3 Hitchcock movies, the others being Psycho and North By Northwest, that provided clues to Lost. The Manchurian Candidate and Seconds were Frankenheimer movies (and novels) that also had clues to Lost. Since those two along with Seven Days In May are alleged to be Frankenheimer's paranoid trilogy, I wonder whether that last, which I haven't seen, also has clues to Lost.
