Dir: Robert Springsteen
Starring: Kent Taylor and Jane Hylton
An American visiting England accidentally finds himself in possession of a briefcase full of secret documents, which many different people are interested in seizing
This typical 1950s B-movie thriller has a number of stock shots of passing trains, plus a couple of other random images, but most are filmed at night making identification difficult. The surviving print of the movie is very poor, and the images have degraded so much that little can really be gleaned from them. There is an additional scene filmed on the walkway adjacent to Hungerford Bridge with an electric train passing behind on its way out of Charing Cross, but despite this being filmed in broad daylight it could well have been late evening such is the state of the film!! However, there is one later scene filmed outside an unidentified station that is somewhat clearer, though in this instance the express that passes through at speed is largely obscured by the actors and their cars!! Oh well.
