Classic noir featuring Charles McGraw as a cop escorting a witness cross country on a train. He's not a particularly happy cop, either, with his partner just murdered on the way to the train station, a witness he's sworn to protect but who stands for everything he is against, and at least two assassins trying to kill them both. A couple of startling plot twists along the way make for one of the more entertaining 71 minutes you'll ever spend with a movie. I could have done without the annoying little kid, however.
