peterjamesyates Review of The Mailbag Robbery

The Mailbag Robbery (1957)

Faint memories of atmospheric train heist film

[24 February 2003]

As I recall, I saw this supporting feature on general release and, perhaps, I have seen it once since. I believe it's the film where the robbers are drilling holes in a compartment wall to gain access to the mail sacks. I know one of the gang is not in the best of health. Charlie, the boy, wonders what they are up to but, for whatever reason, he doesn't say much to anyone else about their activities.
