The Mystery Train

(1931)

61 minutes

Film / Action / Thriller

Directed by Phil Whitman

Cast: Hedda Hopper, Marceline Day and Nick Stuart

A group of passengers are trapped in a runaway Pullman car. As the title implies, this one is an absolute must for railroad buffs, and unlike some other 'B' movies which promise much but deliver little, this one doesn't disappoint, with some terrific train footage at both the beginning and the climax, which will have most fans on the edge of their seats. Queenly and villainous Hedda Hopper is top billed over the lovely Marceline Day, and Nick Stuart makes a more-than-adequate hero.
