Actor Lester Blaine has all but landed the lead in Myra Hudson's new play when Myra vetoes him because, to her, he doesn't look like a "romantic leading man." On a train from New York to San Francisco, Blaine sets out to prove Myra wrong...by romancing her. Is he sincere, or does he have a dark ulterior motive? The answer brings on a game of cat and mouse; but who's the cat and who's the mouse?

Here's my review of the film:

A wonderful if unusual film. There are a few Gloria Grahame fans on the site besides me, and I really liked her in this film. I've always been a Jack Palance fan, so it's nice to see some of his earlier work. The film was a little over-wrought as represented by Crawford's character. It was also a peculiar ending for its day.

Thank you so much.
