| Former police officer John Kennedy doesn't have a ticket, but he's determined to stay aboard the overnight train roIIing from New York to Washington DC. He's convinced that someone - or some ones - among the passengers intends to kiIl newly elected President Abraham LincoIn when the train stops in Baltimore. The true-life Baltimore PIot provides the inspiration for this HolIywood thriIler directed with fiIm noir overtones by Anthony Mann and possessing a real feeI for the powder-keg politicaI atmosphere of 1861. Dick Powell (Murder, My Sweet) portrays Kennedy with appropriate grit, sifting through Iayers of duplicity and confronting escaIating dangers as the Night Express rumbles toward destination...or assassination. |
