NIGHT TRAIN FOR INVERNESS (1960) Norman Wooland, Jane Hylton, Dennis Waterman, Valentine Dyall, Silvia Francis. Some of these little Brit thrillers of the ‘50s and ‘60s are real gems. In this nail-biting film, Wooland, an ex-con just out of jail, kidnaps his son, whom his wife has previously kept from him. Wooland and his son, along with his disgruntled girlfriend (marvelously played by Hylton) board an all-night express train. Unknown to them, the boy has lately been diagnosed with Diabetes and will die within hours if not found. Scotland Yard inspector Dyall leads a frantic search to find the boy, whose father thinks he’s sleeping peacefully in his arms as the train rushes across the English countryside. Great stuff! 16mm.
