Franklin K First of all this isn't the easiest movie to find and then watch. One of the better free copies is available online at You Tube and is ad free, but even there the film quality is grainy, and at times the the sound is out of sync with the film. All of that aside, this is an entertaining and interesting period piece. It concerns the construction of a high speed passenger train, so if you have an interest in trains this is a great film for you. There are also some nice scenes of the Chicago World's Fair, and some great construction scenes from the Boulder Dam. Enjoy this film as a time warp back to the thirties, and some views of some of the more interesting and iconic places and events of those times. Worth a watch for that alone. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Russ G Presumably this was the inspiration for the '76 remake with Gene Wilder & Co. but even for a Thirties B Pic, it sucks ass. Bad scripts and even worse special effects. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/31/22 Full Review Read all reviews
