Breathtaking scenery and old pros ZaSu Pitts and Dean Jagger help but this is mediocre at best with a surprisingly hammy O'Brien.

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.
