The Narrow Margin from 1952 is an underrated hard-boiled thriller from Richard Fleischer and William Cameron Menzies, with cracking, Oscar-nominated writing by Martin Goldsmith and Jack Leonard. Detective Walter Brown (Charles McGraw) has a simple mission - get mobster's wife Frankie Neale (Marie Windsor) on the train from Chicago to Los Angeles, where she is going to testify against her late husband's associates. But the mob will do anything to stop her taking the stand and they plant assassins on board the train. It’s going to be one hell of a ride!
