As in Reign of Terror, Anthony Mann fashions a noir mini-masterpiece out of incongruous period reconstruction.

Good example of noir as style instead of genre.

Dennis Schwartz 05 Jul 2006

Mann's strong direction keeps things taut, fast-paced, very well-detailed and nail-biting.

Very taut and suspenseful thriller from director Anthony Mann and starring one of my favorites, Dick Powell, as a police detective intent on foiling an assassination plot against president-elect Abraham Lincoln. The entire film takes place on a train en route from New York to Washington and then to further points south. The talk among passengers (headed south) is virulently anti-Lincoln. Powell is on the wrong side of politics in supporting "the tall target" and his superiors won't back his investigation. So, he goes it alone, tangling with both the plotters and the police who get in his way. Ruby Dee has a good role has a slave who helps Powell (and the film does not shy away from condemning slavery). Apparently, the film is historically accurate (more or less), as Lincoln really did have to "sneak" into Washington for his inauguration. Who knew?

Excellent thriller set almost entirely on a train -- about an agent foiling the plot of assassins trying to get to Abraham Lincoln on his way to Washington and his inauguration in 1861.
