Review of Union Station (1950) by Ian R — 04 Jan 2015
Not a bad little Film Noir with an early starring role for William Holden playing a tough railway cop who goes up against a viscous kidnapper played by Lyle Bettger. The film is set in the environs of Chicago's massive Union Station where the kidnapper and his accomplices hope to pick up their ransom despite the efforts of depot security and the city police.
Like many pictures in this film cycle, there is a cynical outlook that moves beyond the simple apprehension of the criminals. The end sees Holden pursuing Bettger through the electrified tunnels under Union Station where the kidnap victim (a blind heiress) has been left.
