Night Passage (1957)
Member Rating:  
Night Passage is so similar in spirit to the successful collaborations between star James Stewart and director Anthony Mann that it comes as a surprise that this film is directed by James Nielson. Stewart plays Grant McLaine, ex-railroad employee and the level-headed brother of firebrand gunslinger The Utica Kid (Audie Murphy). When Grant is entrusted to guard a train delivering $10,000, The Kid's gang holds up the train and steals the money. Grant takes off to hunt his felonious brother down and attempts to convince him to go straight. Unfortunately, The Kid refuses, and the brothers face off in a showdown. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Early in the credits, I saw "Based on the story by " somebody I didn't recognize. By the end of the movie, I was convinced that the story had turned on a particular plot device that appeared in the movie, but was underused. I won't spoil it, because it's an okay Western, but I felt like the writers and/or director of the movie didn't really understand the source material. Of course, I could be wrong. Perhaps the original story also SPOILER ALERT ------ -------- --------- ------ ---------- ---------- set up a semi-secret shortcut through an abandoned mine, then didn't use it as a critical plot point.
