Starring: Sydney Tafler and Barbara Murray
A famous thriller writer narrates a crime story for a fellow passenger whilst onboard a train journey
Despite the promising theme, virtually all of this suspenseful little B-movie was filmed on a studio set. There are a few stock shots of an unknown snowbound country station, which is probably newsreel footage of the 1947 winter, and one single night shot of a streamlined SR ‘Bulleid Pacific’ at the start, but after this, the film doesn’t leave the sound stage floor! Shame really, as I thought it was rather good.
