Fatalities On a Train
One thing I do like about Breakheart Pass is that absolutely nobody is who he pretends to be. For the first time viewer, 90% of the fun is figuring just who the good guys and bad guys are on this train to Fort Humboldt in the Rocky Mountains. It’s not revealed until about 75% of the film is done and when it is revealed the action steps up considerably.

A special train is being sent to Fort Humboldt with medical supplies and a relief force as cholera has broken out there. The territorial Governor Richard Crenna is taking personal charge of the operation, the troops are commanded by cavalry Major Ed Lauter. Along for the ride is U.S. Marshal Ben Johnson, Doctor David Huddleston, the Commanding officer’s daughter, Jill Ireland. The engineer is Roy Jenson, the conductor is Charles Durning. Governor Crenna travels in style with a private car with a cook, Archie Moore and a server Victor Mohica. As you can see Breakheart Pass has a good cast.

Marshal Johnson arrests a fugitive, Charles Bronson, before the journey starts and circumstances force him to take Bronson along. People start getting killed on this trip, even before the train leaves and as I said no one is exactly who he seems to be.

Alistair MacLean for a non-American writer managed in this story to get the western ambiance down pretty good. Breakheart Pass combines the best elements of a western and a mystery and I wouldn’t miss it if I was either a western or a mystery fan.

“The fact is Major, we have a killer aboard”.
There came a point in the movie when I began wondering to myself, how come John Deakin/Murray (Charles Bronson) is running around loose without scrutiny or in the presence of any of the authority figures, like Marshal Pearce (Ben Johnson) or Major Claremont (Ed Lauter). After all, his face was on a Wanted Poster, and he admitted to being an arsonist and murderer. There was only the very loose explanation that the supply train was winding it’s way through uninhabited and dangerous wilderness, but a dangerous guy, I think, would have made a break for it at some point.

But Deakin was not the dangerous guy the viewer is set up for. The picture jumps all of it’s characters through some hoops so that they turn out to be somewhat different players than how they started. Only Miss Scoville (Jill Ireland) survives the trip unscathed as the same character, but reviled by the idea that her fiancée and Governor (Richard Crenna) is one of the picture’s main villains. I always get a kick out of seeing Bronson and Ireland in the same picture, knowing that they were married in real life, and wondering if they played out their movie roles at home. You know, like tying Bronson’s hands behind his back and slapping him around for fun.

Probably the most memorable part of the film is the fight scene between Bronson and Archie Moore! on the train roof-top hurtling along though the mountain pass. By this time, Moore didn’t look like he could make his weight limit as a light heavyweight, and he didn’t have much in the way of a speaking role, but he did look dangerous. I wonder if that’s how his ring opponents saw him without a knife.

Overall, a decent time filler for an action flick, more of a mystery than a Western, and suitably outfitted with rugged countryside that complements the characters of the main players. Alistair MacLean wrote the screenplay based on his own novel, utilizing some of the same elements that brought his more heralded war stories to the screen, like “Where Eagles Dare” and “Force 10 From Navarone”.
