Review of The Great Locomotive Chase

I really had no idea that Disney also handled adult films back in the day so watching THE GREAT LOCOMOTIVE CHASE came as a refreshing surprise. It's an American Civil War story about a renegade steam train, stolen from the South by a group of Yankee infiltrators who desperately try to get it to the North while being pursued by pretty much everyone else. The film is light and breezy and takes a little while to get going, and perhaps lacks the star wattage that most films of the era bring. However, it's also action packed and features plenty of inventive moments and thrilling situations on the track. Good fun, then.
