The Dawn Express

Classic WW2 Film #12

Side Note:
I been watching this 20 WW2 movie DVD Set I bought in August
in honor of Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.
Here's the next one.

The Dawn Express
A good average 40's flick.
This wasn't really a WW2 film, even though it takes place during WW2.
It had more of a gangster/spy/film noir feel to it.
The only relation to WW2 was that these scientists that were being
blackmailed by these gangsters were creating a secret formula
for the war.
I enjoyed it. It was only an hour long.
This had two to three jump cuts with the editing.
Like the way they did the bar scenes with the music.
Good for a 1940's film.

Here's a scene from the beginning of the movie:
