No one seemed familiar to us in taut (and short) train thriller (not really a noir), cunningly written by Martin Goldsmith and Jack Leonard and adapted by Earl Fenton. Charles McGraw and Don Beddoe are the detectives entrusted with looking after gangster's wife Marie Windsor - David Clarke, Peter Virgo and Peter Brocco (who made an impression) are out to get them, Paul Maxey the big guy, and Jacqueline White and her son Gordon Gebert (Holiday Affair) are the innocent bystanders.
No music. Lit well by George Diskant. Features some eye-catching stuff, like a tough fight in a train compartment long before From Russia with Love and a thrilling finale.
That was my review from November 2015. I love that it lies! Still really good even when you remember the plot. RKO.
