(aka "Man on the Train" )
USA 1951
| Director Anthony Mann generates suspense from a story that logically shouldn't have any—a New York cop trying to foil an assassination plot against president-elect Abraham Lincoln. Fred Zinnemann should have looked at this before he made The Day of the Jackal. Mann understands that mood is more important than plausibility in a thriller, and you could cut the mood here with a knife. With Dick Powell, Paula Raymond, Adolphe Menjou, and Ruby Dee (1951). |

Anthony Mann has already made a French revolution noir, Reign of Terror aka The Black Book which is already available on DVD, so now comes his take on noir story set just before the outbreak of The Civil War in US. Long unavailable on home video, Warner Home Video delivers an old mastered print, but presented here in progressive mode and in very good quality. The print has visible damages (see capture 6), cue marks (capture 3) and chroma (captures 1 and 4), but overall contrast and grey-scale are well balanced.
The mono soundtrack is encoded well, but like other archive releases, there are no subtitles or closed captioning. Worth noting that this is one of only 2 MGM classic films that doesn't feature a musical score. The only extra is a brief theatrical trailer. |
