Claustrophobic train-set comedy-thriller (produced by H.G. Wells son) with an ace reporter coming up against crooks intent on stealing a gold shipment on the Scotland to London express. A scatterbrained scientist, a gun-toting dame with revenge on her mind and a pair of eccentric spinster crime novelists – who steal the film – round out the motley band of passengers who cross the path of our intrepid hero as he tries to get his big scoop.
Directed by Guy Fergusson, Colin Bell, The Gold Express leans on a strong ensemble — Vernon Gray, Ann Walford, May Hallatt — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
