I for one, love a quirky B mystery, but even I was taken aback by the zaniness of this movie, and the loose ends
I won't even try to explain the loose ends, because I am not sure if I missed key points in the movie, or a number of details were never explained. However, people seem to like some really confusing mystery movies, so I don't think it matters a lot. Just saying, don't expect coherence in this movie.
We have an idiot/genius deflector ( better than a detective, because he deflects the trouble before it does it's worse.) In this case, his deflecting is barely sufficient to allow for a happy ending.
We have an improbably circus train wreck, including an escaped gorilla that makes it's way onto the troublesome train.
We have dual, quirky romances
For railroad lovers, we have one of the best railroad action scenes in an old movie. Heck, if everything else fails, that should be enjoyable for fans of cliff hanger serials.
We have one rather annoying stereotyped black porter or whatever he is. Just ignore it, you are not going to build a time machine and fix problems like that in the past. Just be glad we have made some social progress.
In the end, due it being short, and due to it holding my attention while I continually either think: WTH or Really?!, and due to the very cool action train scene in the end ( I love trains,) I recommend it.
