Movie review - Michael Shayne#2 - "Sleepers West" (1941) *** (re-watching)

 I like train movies and the stars - Lloyd Nolan, Lyn Bari, Mary Beth Hughes. It's a little Narrow Margin as Nolan escorts witness Hughes in a train to give evidence; Bari is a His Girl Friday type reporter desperate for the story. There's a neat subplot where Hughes romances an alcoholic married man.

The film loses some pace when it gets off the train - it's a shame it couldn't have stayed on the whole time.
