| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Catch the Governor's Train to Fort Humboldt! |
| Alistair MacLean's western adventure novel brought to the screen with an admirable cast. Charles Bronson stars in the lead role as John Deacon, a doctor wanted for murder. Ben Johnson plays Texas Ranger Nathan Pearce. Jill Ireland, Bronson's real time wife, stars as the female lead Marsha Scoville. Richard Crenna plays the secret carrying Governor Fairchild. Charles Durning portrays the Governor's aid O'Brian. Ed Lauter plays Sergeant Bellows. Rounding out this cast is the boxer Archie Moore as the company cook. They all come together for an intrigue filled 200 mile train ride to Fort Humboldt, to deliver much needed medical supplies. As with all of MacLean's work nothing is as it seems and this is especially true aboard this suspense train. All the ingredients are there for top notched action and this film delivers the goods. Bronson's puts in one of his better performances and the rest of the cast sell the story very well. This movie definitely bridges the two genres of Western and Conspiracy Thriller.
MacLean wrote the screenplay and the movie stays relatively well with his book. This is one of those times where it is better to watch the movie before reading the book. Filmed in Northern Idaho on the winding trestle filled short line Camas Prairie Railroad, it is well worth adding to the action movie collection. |
