Crashout (1955)
10/10
Totally Gripping

Kennedy, Bendix, Talman, Adler those names alone in the cast mean it's going to be a great movie. So many twists & turns which keep you on the edge of your seat. Filmed in b&w it's atmosphere is enhanced. Beverley Michaels not an actress I'm familiar with is excellent & her scenes with Kennedy have depth & intensity about them. The trip back in time feel is enhanced with the steam train & the old Nash cop cars. If this was remade today it would have nowhere near the depth of this film. William Talman famous as Hamilton Burger in Perry Mason was much much more a first rate bad guy in movies as shown here & as Emmet Myers in Hitchhiker a performance straight from your worst nightmares. Give me a good 40's/50's noir over anything today. Total class.
