(1939) Anna Sten, Alan Marshall, Jerome Cowen, Stanley Fields, Harry Davenport. After a long hiatus, this was supposed to mark Sten’s big comeback. She’s very good and cute as a bug as a lab assistant who’s being deported after her scientist boss is killed by spies. The spies want the dead scientist’s secret formula for a new poison gas. Anna’s soon surrounded by sinister types as she rides a train known as the “Exile Express.” Only a fresh reporter believes in her innocence. Freshly transferred from a nice 16mm print.
