Paradise Express (1937)
No. 91 in my old-movies blog binge was fantastic! So much train action, some tragic, some thrilling. Many comedic scenes with snappy dialogue offset the serious subject matter of murderous racketeers trying to drive the local railway company out of business so the mobster-controlled trucking company would have a monopoly. This movie was written before monopoly laws, the RICO Act (1970!), and speed limits for and signal lights on cars! So many dangerous acts that would today be breaking laws we take for granted.
