Directed by James P. Hogan
USA 1937
Screen goddess Dorothy Lamour (My Favorite Brunette) headlines The Last Train from Madrid, a captivating film that profiles the lives of refugees fleeing the horrors of the Spanish Civil War. Protected by only a single guard while escaping from Madrid on a train, a group of weary individuals from different social classes share snippets of life and love before and during the war illustrating the profound impact it has had on their lives. Directed by James P. Hogan (The Mad Ghoul) and co-starring Lew Ayres (Donovan’s Brain), Gilbert Roland (She Done Him Wrong), Anthony Quinn (The Guns of Navarone), Robert Cummings (The Accused), Lionel Atwill (Secret of the Blue Room), Karen Morley (Scarface) and Helen Mack (Son of Kong). The Last Train from Madrid beautifully interweaves the dramatic stories of seven strangers with a common mission. Featuring early uncredited appearances by Alan Ladd (Shane) and Charles Middleton ('Ming' of Flash Gordon). *** The Spanish Civil War is pressganged as a backdrop for this atrocious farrago of love, duty and tearful self-sacrifice in which assorted characters jockey for the limited number of permits which will enable them (or loved ones) to take the last train out of war-torn Madrid. Roland and Quinn are army officers, now on opposite sides, who once swore an oath of comradeship; Lamour is the woman they both love; Ayres is an American journalist who falls for the daughter of a political activist executed as he arrived to interview him; Cummings is a callow soldier in love with a fallen woman, his innocence letting her hope for redemption.

On their
Blu-ray,
Kino use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (24-bit) in the
original English language. The Last Train from Madrid
has aggressive moments with modest depth and credit to Boris Morros who was musical
director on such films as
The General Died at Dawn,
Internes Can't Take
Money and Leo McCarey's
Make Way for Tomorrow. Audio quality is a function of the
production era but it stands up consistently via the lossless. Kino offer optional English
subtitles on their Region 'A'
Blu-ray.

James P. Hogan's The Last Train from
Madrid
is interesting for being a Hollywood rarity about the Spanish Civil
War and may have some parallels to George Marshall's Love Under Fire
with Loretta Young, Don Ameche and Frances Drake. That film was also in
production during the civil war in Spain fought from 1936
to 1939... without taking sides one way or another. The Last Train from
Madrid
follows multiple story-lines that occasionally intersect with a fair
amount of melodrama - definitely a product of its time but it has an
recognizable cast with Dorothy Lamour, Lew Ayres, Gilbert Roland, Lionel
Atwill, Robert Cummings, Anthony Quinn and even, briefly, Alan Ladd. The Kino Blu-ray
