I think that this is a very under rated 50's film with terrific cast. Yes, of course the film seems dated by today's standards. And the very "obvious" solution to the explosive problems is completely ignored.. Park it somewhere in the uninhabited countryside. But just have a look at the full list of credits. Some wonderful names there from this era. Some at the start of illustrious careers. Laurence Naismith, Sam Kydd, Maurice Denham, Arthur Mullard, Bill Fraser etc etc. Many of them uncredited in the film.I have another interest in this movie, I am quite certain that my grandfather was hired to drive the locomotive in the train sequences.
