This is a fast-paced movie with a bright and witty script and plenty of scary adventures which Durbin cleverly manages to survive.
Lady on a Train is a mystery comedy containing plenty of fun for both whodunnit and laugh fans. Melodramatic elements in the Leslie Charteris original are flippantly treated without minimizing suspense, and the dialog contains a number of choice quips that are good for hefty laughs.
Lady on a Train sets out to elicit chills and chuckles, but never quite reaches its modest destination.
This 1945 picture is much more felicitous than Christmas Holiday, the bizarre film noir that followed, though not nearly as memorable.
Ugh. A murder mystery that starts from a Leslie Charteris story but never gets anyplace you'd want to go to.
It's an empty and careless little fable, intended to be a mystery farce, about the wholly incredible mix-up of a debutante in a murder plot.
