An Overlooked Classic
Here’s an overlooked classic that more than holds its own over five decades after its release. Two-fisted detective Charles McGraw must protect a crucial witness (Marie Windsor) on a train trip from Chicago to Los Angeles. Since keeping a secret is hard, bad guys who aren’t so keen on Windsor’s testimony are also on board — and will stop at nothing to silence her. Further complexities are added to an already tense situation when the hit men confuse another passenger as their target.“The Narrow Margin” is known as a B movie, but you’d never know it from watching it. True, the film isn’t flashy, but it does make the most out of everything it has. The story is original and full of twists, the suspense terrific and the acting memorable. With its creative take on what should be a simple story, and with its colorful characters and sharp direction, it’s all more than a bit reminiscent of the master himself, Alfred Hitchcock. You won’t regret picking this one up now that it’s available on DVD.
Perfectly written, taut edgy Film Noir!
This is a fast paced and edgy film noir which could be used as a perfect example of the style. Crisp dialogue, hard characters and sarcastic humor blend perfectly to create a wonderful movie that is over before you know it. This film is really a lost treasure.
