Review of Union Station

Union Station (1950)
6/10
Routine Thriller
28 September 2010
Holden and Olson went from the set of the magnificent classic "Sunset Blvd." to this routine drama about the kidnapping of a young blind woman. Although the film seems to have the elements for a tense thriller, including a chase in an underground railroad tunnel and a nice film noir look, the plot is somewhat muddled and the narrative is not well sustained. Holden and Olson are fine, working well together in the second of four films they would co-star in between 1950 and 1951, and Bettger makes a good villain. However, Fitzgerald, with his Irish brogue, is rather annoying, as is Roberts as the perpetually shrieking victim.
