Lady on a Train (1945)

This flick stars Deanna Durbin, a Canadian! It was refreshing to watch a movie where the protagonist was a woman. This is not a musical, but she sings 3 songs: what a great voice! Plot: a madcap comedy is smashed together with a noirish murder mystery. The casual racism of the 1940s is tough to take, and there's not much "train" despite the title. The comedy bits were pretty good.
