The movie features a pair of stalwart veteran actors, Lee Marvin (The Killers) and Ernest Borgnine (Convoy), as, respectively, a jaunty hobo determined to ride a train and the vicious conductor equally resolved to prevent this eventuality.

Also starring Keith Carradine (The Long Riders) as the train-jumper’s young protégé, the film features a potent score by Frank De Vol.

As supplier Twilight Time prints up only 3,000 copies of each title, be sure to keep an eye on the Twilight Time site or that of their distributor Screen Archives’s for the announcement of the prebook date (usually 2-3 weeks before the title’s street date) and get ready to reserve!
