The West~Bound Limited

1923 · 62 min Drama
6.0 / 10 · TMDB

The plot, old-hat though it is, does provide an opportunity for that wonderfully seedy villain, David Dirby, to do his dirty work and more importantly, to tie all the thrillingly on-the-spot railroad footage together. Railroad buffs will enjoy all the atmospheric detail director Johnson has obtained by filming in real freight yards and inside and alongside real steam engines and rolling stock.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative by relying on the tension between a conventional plot and the raw, documentary power of its railroad footage. It explores the spirit of the steam age as much as the fate of its characters.

What lingers after the final reel is the visceral sensation of iron and coal, a time capsule where machinery overshadows melodrama. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Emory Johnson
