See more 10/24/2012 This splendid melodrama has thrilling footage of railroad action that would be impossible to capture today in it's original location with genuine articles. It's great fun to watch, a real popcorn boo and cheer - mature situations are handled intelligently, but highly stylized in the fashion of 1950s Hollywood. See more Read all reviews
