In 1952 an ingenious little "sleeper" slipped by on the lower half of bills. Though Time wrote that for its "trigger–paced suspense" it was "worthy of being bracketed in the select group of train thrillers headed by Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes and Carol Reed's Night Train," it disappeared from circulation, and turned up again only a few weeks ago. Richard Fleischer directed this slick, fast story about a gangster's widow (Marie Windsor-remember her as the destructive floozie of The Killing?) on her way from Chicago to Los Angeles to testify before a grand jury.
