A hard-boiled cop escorts a gangster's moll from Chicago to California where she's going to turn State's evidence. But the train is crawling with hit men and no one is exactly sure what he or she is in this suspenseful noir from 1952. The film is tight, taut, and filled with memorably acid-tongued dialogue. The 1990 remake of The Narrow Margin is only serviceable. Go for the 52 version.
