When a passenger plane crash lands at a small airport, the emergency services are puzzled by the rather Marie Celeste scenario they discover. Where have the people gone? More importantly - where have $100,000 gone too? "Iris" (Jean Brooks) is the daughter of one of the missing men and she determines to engage the services of the "Falcon" (Tom Conway) to get to the bottom of this mystery. Before he can sink his teeth into the investigation though, her father reappears - all on his own - with a rather fantastic tale of mid-air hijackings and anti-government conspiracies. Is he telling the truth or is he implicated in some nefarious plot, too? It's standard wartime fayre, this - a slightly far-fetched plot that at least gets the imagination going to compensate for some rather join-the-dots acting and writing. The denouement is a wee bit different and though I still think it's a shame George Sanders didn't stay with this franchise, Conway does enough to keep it watchable and just a little intriguing.

RR2007-11-02Looping, chugging and barreling by, the trains in Benning's latest monumental film map a stunning topography and a history of American development. RR comes three decades after Benning and Bette Gordon made The United States of America (1975), a cinematic journey along the country’s interstates that is keenly aware “of superhighways and railroad tracks as American public symbols.” A political essay responding to the economic histories of trains as instruments in a culture of hyper-consumption, RR articulates its concern most explicitly when Eisenhower's military-industrial complex speech is heard as a mile long coal train passes through eastern Wyoming. Benning spent two and a half years collecting two hundred and sixteen shots of trains, forty-three of which appear in RR. The locomotives' varying colors, speeds, vectors, and reverberations are charged with visual thrills, romance and a nostalgia heightened by Benning's declaration that this will be his last work in 16mm film.More...
