So impressive what travel by rail was like in the 1950s. The glass top canopy is so enticing. The dining car matches any that I saw in Europe. Train stations were important hubs of urban life. What a shame that the USA can no longer “afford” such an effective, stress-free means of travel.
Keep electing Democrats & U'll see travelling by rail/train increase AND U'll see SAFER railways, too, with sufficient safety regulations as well. Orange AID removed many during his 4 atrocious years as President. Thus, resulting, in the way too many derailments we are seeing today (early 2023).
Kent Taylor (1907 - 1987) now a largely forgotten mainly B picture actor has one enduring (if somewhat accidental) legacy - his name, along with that of Clark Gable (1901 - 1960) was the inspiration for the name of Superman's alter-ego, Clark Kent. He began his film career in 1931 as an extra but slowly climbed the "greasy pole" and won a contract with Paramount. In the 1930s and 1940s he appeared in mainly B pictures with many of his roles uncredited although occasionally had roles in more significant movies such as the Doc Holliday role in Tombstone, The Town Too Tough To Die (1942). By the early 1950s, his film career had waned and he began working in TV and he played the title role in 58 episodes of the detective series Boston Blackie (1951 - 1953) and then the lead in 39 episodes of The Rough Riders (1958 - 1959). He appeared in most popular TV shows including Zorro, The Rifleman, Peter Gunn and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. By the 1960s he was reduced to appearing in potboilers such as Brides of Blood, Blood of Ghastly Horror and Satan's Sadists. His last film was Girls for Rent in 1974. When this movie was released on DVD in 2008, the New York Times called it "a terse crime film".
What a marvellous *peephole* back through the last 70 years. The buildings, the cars & trains, the clothing, even a glimpse of the _road culture_ of that period. _Priceless._
@@nicholasfredro6217 Nic, Nic, Nic man! If all of this is true, I feel sure that you ought to put your affairs in order and see a vet, _right quick._ 🤓
This interesting movie is a commentary about how dumb people do dumb things and die in dumb ways. Forrest Gump was correct "stupid is as stupid does"... And, no kiss at the end (it would never work on Hallmark!).
Hey, thanks for this rare movie!! Frank was played by Mickey Knox, whose Hollywood career (he had small roles in White Heat and I Walk Alone, for example) got derailed during the HUAC/ blacklist period of the early '50s. He was a John Garfield-like actor and this is the biggest role I've ever seen him in. (In fact Garfield himself played a similar kind of character the same year, 1950, in He Ran All the Way.) Knox went to Europe and worked on the production end of Sergio Leone films in the '60s. In the early 2000s he wrote a fascinating autobiography about his career too.
I have yet to discern if this story is made to represent the time just five years after WWII. This hobo character either made it home safe from a stint in the armed srvice or had been 4F'd even though he walks with a decent gait (flatfootedness seems not to be an issue). So the story starts with questions for me that only can be satisfied if I return to the movie to see if the issue I picked up on here is addressed or not. It's kind of ironic though that just as I was wondering about how a serviceman returning back from the second world war could be without any common sense and went on to be less than an upstanding civilian (whatecer that is, I can't say I'm qualified to judge) but this is a story that seems to be almost prophetic for the actor to portray a dejected soul, lost without a country, without familial support and as I return or not to this movie I'll get or not, the rest of the story, per Paul Harvey. Edit p.s. No finger prints on the shiv/knife, so that suggests no service record. Though I can see where records took time to piece together back in the year as herein depicted. Edit p.s. So Frank is supposed to be about 23 or 24 years old this would mean he was only 17 or 19 at the end of the war, though he sure looks more like a man in his late 20's or early thirties. That sits with the actor portraying Frank's father as the father appears to be in his fifties, which in the era depicted that would make an only child (guessing here) about 30 years old and the mother has not been mentioned thus far. Where did Frank's mother go?
@@aspenrebel Now you tell me, I'll have to go through 45 minutes to get my query answered. Well I'm into nostalgia in movies but the fifties is past my area of interest generally speaking. I may return to see the entire movie but I'm not good at staying to watch if the acting, direction and or production is 3rd rate. I guess that makes me a cinema-snob.
I think *western pacific agent* Means someone just like CID alias James bond!!I hope its an interesting movie ! Love romance and fight are mixed in this movie !!thriller also ! So I am waiting to see it with my friends ! Thanks !
Yeah, with the old movies you don't have to do any mental gymnastics to enjoy them like you have to with today's movies with their complex scripts. Like with a Quentin Tarantino movie, if you stop paying attention for one second you're lost.
Loved the Zephyr, my dad was a brakeman for the Union Pacific Railroad in Portland Oregon late 1950's.Those were the days, carefree and full of fun things to do. The main character has a knife fixation, loves to stab people, like Ted Bundy looking in windows late at night.😵
Actually, a correction to my previous comment: the similar vicious fugitive role that Garfield played was actually a year later in 1951, in his last film He Ran All the Way. He was even dressed similarly to Knox in Western Pacific Agent in a black shirt and light sports jacket. I know that, like many actors of the era, Knox greatly admired Garfield too.
I was on the California Zephyr as a 9 year old San Francisco to Chicago in 1965. The dome cars were the greatest. Wonder if they were the same ones used in this great movie? I kinda doubt it....but maybe....?
GREAT Garfield Fan ..Was that he last..(They Made Me A Fugitive)?Man disgusting what the McCarthy Era OF House UnAmerican Committee did to John G and many others ..He passed away in Manhattan NYC...AT 39 YEARS OLD...BROKE HID HEART THOSE WITCH HUNTING Bureaucrats ..A freaking shame ...
Are there still train hobos? I love trains. My mom took one from Massachusetts..Springfield..to Laguna Beach California in mid 30s. She was 16. It sounded pretty exciting to me. She stayed a year then came back to go to work. Those depression years were something huh? Looks like history is repeating itself. Oh boy here we go again. No romance left for this one. Nuclear war wont allow it. Thanks Brandon.
Rule 1. Don't hide behind a bail of hay in a shoot out. Rule 2. Frank fired at least 9 rounds from a revolver before he had to reload. Rule 3. After Frank's Pop got popped, everyone ran out into the open? Note to self: During a Get-A-Way, don't climb to the top of a drawbridge, it leaves very few routes of escape.
The guy with the glasses was the real star of this movie. Also the respectable lady on the train who perked up when she heard about the double murder and robbery.
ever hear if reloading? Hollywood hasn't..I've never seen a flic where someone used a speedloader & reloaded all 6 with one motion. Nor moon clips for 45 acp revolvers. At least they don't fire 10 rounds without reloading a revolver like in 1 of John Wayne's otters! Or in Hiwaii Five-O. My wife & I have a term for these 'wunderkind revolvers' They're McGarrett guns.. Guess actors are to dumb to reload a revolver except 1 at a time rarely.
That was pretty good ! Enjoyed watching it very much ! That independent producer Robert Lippert certainly knew how to turn out exciting & entertaining movies on a small budget ! THANKS for uploading !! 🙂

Just can't see Pat Buttram with that beautiful Sheila Ryan 😮 he sure didn't have any sex appeal kinda of a whiny Imogena Coco in drag just twice the size😂
With reference to the gun fight scenes in this movie, there's an old joke in Canada regarding Canadian, American rifle shooters. Goes like this: An American and a Canadian are sent out on a mock, best number of hits, rifle competition. The American has a military grade machine gun with 400 rounds; the Canadian has an old Lee-Enfield WWI peep-sight issue .303 with 7 rounds. After the dust had settled, the American comes back with the bottom half of a squirrel, and all 400 rounds spent. The Canadian comes back with 8 kills. When asked by the judges how the Canadian got 8 kills with 7 rounds, the Canadian replied, " Well Sir, I just waited till two of them lined up". I guess it's just funny in Canada. What country almost always leads the world sniper competitions....
They just held the world rifle shooting Championships a few weeks ago. 3 events: Americans won Gold, Silver, and Gold in the team. South Africans won Bronze, Gold, and silver in the team British shooters won the other medals. No Canadians even placed.
@@MichaelGunner123 Indeed there was a very early TV series, which was one of the first program of ZIV, the very successful independent television production company that also brought us Highway Patrol and Lock-Up. It really has a bare-bones look, but that almost become a trademark of ZIV - but not as 'cardboard' in appearance as Space Patrol.
Takes me back to early sixties and "riding the rails" on the Western Pacific Feather River Route. Hated to see it merge with the UP. Lots of fond memories of the North Fork of the Feather River. Also, Chester was not on the route but is near the headwaters of the North Fork.
That was a Fun Flick. Usually the Comedic characters in old movies or Westerns are kind of Annoying. But the Guy in the Big Eye Glasses was actually funny. Thanks for a Grear upload. Best Wishes! M.H
yikes, at 2:00 te train is passing alongside the face of a near-cliff. in the next couple of seconds we see the wide open spaces. dont think so. just saying fwiw.
best l remember is when l see how few cars there were on the streets... cars and ordinary people in them have ruined the car generation completely, Like rats, everywhere!
Interesting movie, yet in some ways it looks like another tv series from the 50s that is grounded in a transportation system or one particular job location...like Highway Patrol, Sea Hunt, or Cannonball (a series about truckers).

I think the goofball with the shiv, comic relief guy was in old Superman series on 1950's television. Oh and he also played on captain midnite another TV series. Played idiots really well.🤣😂
Oh my what a terrible movie. Love the old scenes and old cars. Police and the Father and Sister were as stupid as can be. Story in a nutshell. Man goes nuts, Kills wounds mass killing of many many local people, mass murderer takes many trains and cars but seems to never be able to leave town. Multiple people know who is doing the killings but choose to do nothing about it because..... well who the hell knows you have to be ignorant to speculate or make sense of it all. At the end no one is left to kill or attempt to kill so mass murder is shot and plunges to his death.... or is He? Maybe more people to kill.? He later becomes Michael or is it Jason from The Halloween Movies.... Who the hell cares lets just end it. Please go kill kill kill somemore it never ends lol.
Only because of the low budget as compared to a major feature film. Any dedicated film fan knows that many "B" movies were better than the big budget films made around the same time. I agree that this one is superb. Exciting from start to finish.
@@jubalcalif9100 B-movie particularly refers to a movie that is not a feature movie(IOW, the A-movie, similar to A and B side of a 78 and a 45 rpm record) in a cinema. Hence, it follows that the budget is lower. But, on occasion it is a 'better' movie.
They weren't made by the big name powerhouses and their budgets were on the tight side. Warner Bros. made excellent movies but they were considered to be B list too because they didn't have the big budgets.
They are alway talking about "hot dough", translated in the subtitle as the stuff baker uses. I know, it is a hearing problem. What could that mean? Can not find any translation.
Thanks for making another rare classic available for viewing.

uh huh, ok. let me watch the movie and see if I have any idea who the heck he is.
Nope! Have no idea who he is. I fell asleep thru a big chunk of movie in middle. Didn't go back and watch it. Ending answered it all.
John Garfield was blackballed by the Senator Joe McCarthy "communist" witch hunts in the late 40s to around 1955 .
I have yet to discern if this story is made to represent the time just five years after WWII. This hobo character either made it home safe from a stint in the armed srvice or had been 4F'd even though he walks with a decent gait (flatfootedness seems not to be an issue).

From the title, I was expecting the story to revolve around a Station Agent, not a Special Agent(ie RR dick) ...
"Tell the chief what he looks like ."
" About six feet tall ... "
" Not the Chief the suspect "
"Oh' round face needs shave .."
That character was really in outer space, but he was really funny.
Reminds me of Rick Moranis in Little Shop of Horrors
Those little B movirs were real gems ! No stars but a lot of good actors ans a solid story; who aks for more !

Then comic relief little guy played I think in McHale's Navy and definitely in Green Acres as one of the carpenters
Sid melton
Rode the last line Western Pacific had..The Feather River Route. Panned gold on the Feather in the early 80s.
Not too schmaltzy or melodramatic right? No. Oh.
But the real star was the brand new California Zephyr.

WE USED TO TAKE THIS TRAIN BACK N FORTH FROM MIAMI TO SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO WHEN I WAS A KID.
The train pictured is the 'California Zephyr', which ran between Chicago, Illinois and Oakland, California.
thats one hella long bridge....everyone else has to sail or fly that journey
@@richierich2048 Still does.
Gee what an exciting movie👍👍
Not bad, as our unsworn assistant detective, the feeble minded, short sighted young man enlivens the hunt for the killer robber!
Almost same intro in color, 'Bad day at Black Rock' movie starring Spencer Tracy, can't find this full movie , except in German dub, ...please upload the original if you can!................🙏

A shooting.
Thought it must have been something big, it's the first time the streamliner has stopped here in six years.
Second time.

He could have tossed bills every where on the train, near people.
Then, Double Back and make it impossible to find him.
Yammering viola’s……’Crime is …. bad …. ! ‘

I think the goofball with the shiv, comic relief guy was in old Superman series on 1950's television. Oh and he also played on captain midnite another TV series. Played idiots really well.🤣😂
Another nice old film. Thanks!
My sentiments exactly !
Oh my what a terrible movie. Love the old scenes and old cars. Police and the Father and Sister were as stupid as can be. Story in a nutshell. Man goes nuts, Kills wounds mass killing of many many local people, mass murderer takes many trains and cars but seems to never be able to leave town. Multiple people know who is doing the killings but choose to do nothing about it because..... well who the hell knows you have to be ignorant to speculate or make sense of it all. At the end no one is left to kill or attempt to kill so mass murder is shot and plunges to his death.... or is He? Maybe more people to kill.? He later becomes Michael or is it Jason from The Halloween Movies.... Who the hell cares lets just end it. Please go kill kill kill somemore it never ends lol.
I didn't understand why some calls these superb movies B grade 🙄
Only because of the low budget as compared to a major feature film. Any dedicated film fan knows that many "B" movies were better than the big budget films made around the same time. I agree that this one is superb. Exciting from start to finish.
@@jubalcalif9100 B-movie particularly refers to a movie that is not a feature movie(IOW, the A-movie, similar to A and B side of a 78 and a 45 rpm record) in a cinema. Hence, it follows that the budget is lower. But, on occasion it is a 'better' movie.
They weren't made by the big name powerhouses and their budgets were on the tight side. Warner Bros. made excellent movies but they were considered to be B list too because they didn't have the big budgets.
@@jubalcalif9100 Definitely true, but what really gets me in movies is how characters fall in love in one day.
Because they stink, like this movie.
They are alway talking about "hot dough", translated in the subtitle as the stuff baker uses. I know, it is a hearing problem. What could that mean? Can not find any translation.
Bom filme. Mas não se explica como um cara comete três assassinatos e um assalto e permanece na mesma cidade. Só sendo louco, não?
