Movie Info

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

Unrated, 1 hr. 30 min.

It's an enjoyable kind of simple, briskly directed with several thrilling action set pieces.

Flatly tells the familiar tale about two brothers, one bad, one good.

Super Reviewer

Although the plot is a very familiar one, two brothers, one good and one bad, but it is done very well in this film, and James Stewart's presence is a huge plus. Well produced, good supporting cast, nicely photographed.
