Very disappointed :(

Inclubabu

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Ava-Grace Willis

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Quiet Muffin

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

There's air raids. Nazis, speeding trains and all sorts of danger around on this hour long rollercoaster ride, made in the midst of World War II and showing how the war could be fun. It's all about a group of passengers on a train dealing with various secrets, among them a bunch of fifth columnist spies determined to get their secrets to their various Nazi organizations, and it's pretty clear from the beginning, who is who. Pretty Irene Hervey is the secretary to the aggressive Charlotte Wynters, obviously up to no good and not too discreet in letting her anti-American feelings be known. George Zucco, just by his sinister presence, is also instantly suspicious, while missionary's Mary Gordon and Oscar O'Shea seem to be emulating the Strauss's from the Titanic, refusing to get under a table during an air raids. It's up to Hervey and handsome Kent Taylor to unmask the Nazis, while the ensemble provides a mixture of suspicion and comic relief. Poor Willie Fung, the Asian Willie Best, is as stereotypical cowardly and effeminate, providing uncomfortable comic relief. Henry Stephenson, J. Edward Bromberg and Fay Helm are others among the big cast in this fast moving adventure that won't win any awards, but certainly doesn't warrant any boo's either. It's a lot of fun from start to finish, the type of film that will keep you glued to the screen.
