A Movie For A Chilly Saturday - James Stewart in Night Passage (1957)

.

Normally I'm not a big fan of westerns but every once and a while I come across a really good one. The 1957 James Stewart and Audie Murphy film Night Passage is by far one of my favorite westerns. When you put Stewart, who in one my favorite actors, in a movie that revolves around the building of the Rio Grande Railroad in Colorado you just can't go wrong. My love of trains aside, Night Passage is a really entertaining movie with fine acting, plenty of action and darn good plot.

When a local railroad becomes the constant target of a band of desperadoes led by the notorious Whitey Harbin (Dan Duryea), train officials recruit soft-spoken but life-hardened employee Grant McLaine (Stewart) to guard the payroll from any more robberies. Trouble is, the gangs most skilled and lethal gunslinger, the Utica Kid (Audie Murphy), is Grant's kid brother. Torn between the bonds of blood and his allegiance to the railroad, Grant finds himself hoping for the best but preparing for the worst as the train comes under attack from Harbin's bandits, climaxing in an unforgettable gun battle as the brothers from opposite sides of the law meet again to settle an old score. - Universal Studios Publicity
