The End of the Line

The film begins with a lone rider out west. Men are building a railroad. There is a small camp for the workers. Grant McLaine plays the accordion to entertain people. He was blacklisted by the powerful railroads. There is conflict between the wives and the hostesses. The conflict escalates. Mining goes on in the hills. A man on a horse chases a young boy, Grant gets involved. The conversations tell about the characters. Ben Kimball is in his private railroad car. There is a plan to avoid another payroll robbery. Can Grant be trusted? The train runs along the hills of Colorado following the river (level ground). The path had to be blasted from the sides of the mountain.

The band of outlaws have a hideout in a ghost town. They wait to rob the payroll train. There is conflict over strategy. Whitey abducts Kimball's wife for ransom as there is no payroll. They take Joey too. Will the workers leave without their pay? Grant McLaine infiltrates the outlaw camp, then resolves his conflict with Concho. The brothers have conflicting principles. [Singing in a crime story?] Then a new man shows up and the fight starts. There is a chase and shooting. Will somebody help Grant? The conflict is ironed out by the usual means in this western morality tale.

Note how the "Theatrical Trailer" shows carefully edited scenes. Would this kind of story have been possible in the 1940s?

Western worth watching with two great stars - Stewart and Murphy

Night Passage features two great icons - Jimmy Stewart and Audie Murphy, in a tale about railroads in the West. Although the script is not the greatest, these two fine stars make the movie worth watching. Jimmy Stewart does a fine job portraying a railroad man who has been wronged by the owner, and Audie Murphy plays the Utica Kid, a bandit who was set free by Stewart.

The action is good, and the plot is easy to follow which is a must for a good Western. Some of the singing scenes are a little goofy, but if you like other Jimmy Stewart Westerns, then you will like this one as well, although it is not his best.

great entertainment from a great era

i'm an addict to the older movies, and not so much of a stick that i can't appreciate some of the newer flicks as well, but prefer these old time classics to the later. great movies by great entertainers,
producers, and directors. recommended viewing for all.

Night Passage review

I really enjoyed this movie. I am a big westerns fan, and whenever you can get a good story and more than one big name actors in the cast it just makes for a great movie. Iwatched it several times.
