UNION STATION
William Holden and Barry Fitzgerald play a pair of cops racing to foil a kidnapping plot in Chicago's Union Station. This film packs a double-feature's worth of thrills into its brief runtime, including some brutality decades ahead of its time. Ace crime scenarist Sydney Boehm keeps the plot humming like a runaway train and director (and renowned cinematographer) Rudolph Maté makes the ride more vivid through use of actual locations. Co-starring Nancy Olson (SUNSET BLVD.) and a terrifying Lyle Bettger. (Note courtesy of Noir City.) DIR Rudolph Maté; SCR Sydney Boehm; PROD Jules Schermer; U.S., 1950, b&w, 81 min. NOT RATED
