By 1950, Ann Dvorak has been a freelance actress for 14 years and her days in Hollywood were winding down. During this later part of her career, Ann tended to have supporting roles, but she is usually pretty effective (A Life of Her Own<\/a>, Our Very Own<\/a>, Walls of Jericho<\/a>)<\/strong>. I have only sat through Mrs. O’ Malley<\/strong> and Mr. Malone<\/strong><\/a> once, and have never had the urge to revisit it. As I recall, Ann has very little to do and this role is not nearly as memorable as the aforementioned titles. Even though the film is only 69 minutes, this comedy\/murder mystery set on a train feels much longer. If one is a fan of Marjorie Main or James Whitmore, then this is probably enjoyable enough, but from an Ann Dvorak standpoint, I recommend tuning into TCM the following day for Heat Lightning <\/strong><\/a>instead.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, I just realized that Norma Taurog directed this film. He had directed Ann 17 years prior in 1933’s The Way to Love.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
