The Narrow Margin
Watch Trailer
In this taut film noir thriller directed by Richard Fleischer, a gritty Los Angeles detective, played by Charles McGraw, is tasked with escorting a mobster’s widow, portrayed by Marie Windsor, from Chicago to Los Angeles by train. The journey becomes a tense game of cat and mouse as they are pursued by hitmen determined to prevent her from testifying in court. The film is celebrated for its tight pacing and claustrophobic setting, which heightens the suspense. Although it did not receive any major awards, it remains a classic example of the genre.
