Product Information
Richard Fleischer's THE NARROW MARGIN is a subtle film noir from 1952 which picked up Oscar nominations for writers Martin Goldsmith and Jack Leonard. The story is set on a train running from Chicago to LA. Among the passengers, the former wife of a mobster, Mrs. Frankie Neil (Marie Windsor), travels under heavy police protection. The cops assigned to guard her include Walter Brown (Charles McGraw), a hard-bitten sergeant who fends off the attentions of various mobsters on the train who want Neil dead. On her way to LA to testify against her former husband, Neil needs all the protection she can get as the story unfolds. McGraw is well-suited to the role of Brown, as he frequently portrayed cops in films as diverse as Stanley Kramer's comedic IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD and the Fleischer-directed ARMORED CAR ROBBERY. Meanwhile, Windsor plays to type in her role, which neatly follows her chosen career path as the actress-du-jour in many noir movies of the period; the pinnacle of her career came via a turn in Stanley Kubrick's brooding crime-thriller THE KILLING. A mobster picture that draws on all the talents of its excellent cast, THE NARROW MARGIN is an often-unheralded entry into the canon of 1950s crime flicks.Product Identifiers

Never let this oldie pass you by. Never.
No question, one of the best B pictures to come out of the golden years of Hollywood. Worth watching just to see a top cast make the most of their roles in what is basically a low budget production set on a speeding train. This is what good film making is all about, the kind of movie that keeps you glued to the screen from the beginning to the end. Incidentally, there is no music, except for the roar of the train engine during the opening and closing credits. Exciting stuff with a lot of fond memories if you are old enough to remember this one on the Late Late Show (a perfect late night treat) when there was no such thing as cable.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Good Films Can Come in Small Packages
This was a low budget B movie and does not attempt to be an epic detective film. The actors were well selected and not particularly based on their looks or personality...the real thing; even the supporting cast fit pretty well. The dialogue was real and not embellished with great one-liners that no one would think of on the spot like so many other phony detective movies. And the direction brought you into a well shot suspense drama that held your interest throughout. A great team effort on both sides of the camera.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A little movie with an exciting story line.
A great noir film even though there are no well known actors in it. But the surprise ending is what makes it an under rated gem.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
