THE GREAT LOCOMOTIVE CHASE
(R.K.O.-Radio-Walt Disney) G Cert. WaALt DISNEY’s new vehicle for Fess (Davy Crockett) Parker is based on an incident during® the American Civil War, and apparently keeps to the facts. Fess Parker is Andrews, who, with a band of Union spies, steals a locomotive and sets out to destroy vital bridges on a stretch of Confederate line. His pursuer is Fuller (Jeffrey Hunter), who emerges surprisingly as a not unsympathetic character. I had the impression that the film was determined to be fair and that there’s been no monkeying with the story for dramatic effect. Even so, it is often quite exciting. The Great Locomotive Chase is being screened with Men Against the Arctic, an interesting short about the adventures of U.S. icebreakers which serve bases in the Arctic. Its merits include some striking photography.
