7.5 Сюжет
Актор Лестер Блейн майже одержав роль у новій п'єсі Міри Гадсон, але Міра зняла його з ролі, тому що на її думку, він не схожий на «романтичного красеня».На потягу від Нью-Йорка до Сан-Франциско, Блейн має намір довести їй, що вона помиляється... зачарувати її. Чи дійсно він щирий, чи він має темний прихований мотив? Відповідь нагадує гру кота і миші; але хто є котом, а хто - мишею?

Сюжет (англ.)
Charles Engle has been caught embezzling. He writes a suicide note, and goes out wandering on the town. Small-time hustler Bill O'Brian sees him give a couple of big tips, figures he's rich, and plans to take him over to a big-time card game and fleece him. He enlists Nina Barone to help get Engle to the game. She goes along, but is more interested in O'Brien than in his schemes. Meanwhile, a perpetually drunk and none too successful playwright, Gene Gibbons, finds the suicide note. He cooks up a scheme (with the reluctant aid of O'Brien) to get the money Engle needs to pay back his employer and save his life.

Сюжет
Вже не молода зірка Бродвею Марґо Ченнінґ мала все: успіх, друзів, молодого коханця. Скромна і працьовита Єва стає її помічницею, і виконує всі бажання господині. Театральний критик Аддісон Де Віт швидше за всіх розуміє, що Євою рухає бажання стати «новою Марґо Ченнінґ», і вирішує допомогти молодій кар'єристці. Вона стає його вдячною ученицею і наполегливо, не гребуючи нічим, йде до вершини слави, зраджуючи людей, які довкола неї.

Сюжет (англ.)
The historical fact of a possible assassination attempt on the President-Elect Abraham Lincoln makes the movie very interesting. The drama comes from a fictitious New York police sergeant discovering the plot and boarding the last train to Washington, DC, to protect the new president to be. Dick Powell does a very good job using deduction and logic to find who on the train could be conspirators. He is foiled at different times but manages to succeed even when the conspirators have caught him. The movie's action takes place mostly on the train and the effects of travelling are well done. Historically, several states have already seceded from the union and that included Virginia. That's why Lincoln had to travel to Washington, DC, through Maryland, also a slave state. When he was taking his own "Inaugural Train" the plan was to kill Lincoln in Baltimore during a long stop but Lincoln's supporters did some slight of hand to sneak him on board the last train to the capital. Maybe not Oscar material but a very enjoyable piece of entertainment.

Сюжет (англ.)
Anne Parkson feels neglected by her lawyer-husband Ted, so she falls in love with night-club owner Tony Arnello, a shady character who is a client of her husband's. This being a MGM picture and MGM known to strive for General Audience ratings and avoid the dreaded Adult Audience tag, any affair that takes place is barely implied. Tony, a no-goodnik, kills Claire Lorrison, but Anne's compact is found near the body. Arnello threatens her with exposure unless she keeps quiet, as she is the only one who knows he is guilty. This being an Arch Oboler film, it is also filled with lots of "stream of consciousness" techniques in which the audience is able to share the thoughts of the central character. Oboler is highly praised in some quarters for bringing this from his radio programs where, of course, it was needed to let the radio audience know what was going on. In films, it comes off as just somebody talking to themselves. Gifford talks to herself a lot in this one, mainly about whether to commit suicide. Not in a MGM General Audience-rated movie you don't.
