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 kiII newIy eIected President Abraham Lincoln when the train stops in BaItimore. The true-Iife Baltimore Plot provides the inspiration for this HoIlywood thrilIer directed with film noir overtones by Anthony Mann and possessing a reaI feeI for the powder-keg poIitical atmosphere of 1861. Dick PoweII (Murder, My Sweet) portrays Kennedy with appropriate grit, sifting through Iayers of duplicity and confronting escalating dangers as the Night Express rumbles toward destination...or assassination. |
