Audience Reviews for The Great Locomotive Chase

  • Mar 02, 2012
    Mid Fifties Disney film has the look and feel of one of that company's 60 films. Fess Parker was a handsome man but stiff as a board as an actor. Jeffrey Hunter who was a reasonably big name in '56 oddly relegated to a supporting role here. Some nice scenery and for history buffs an decent story but nothing special.

    A good Disney sanitized Civil war movie.
