6/10
A fairly suspenseful noir-mystery
11 July 2022
The movie opens on a train where a mysterious Dr Valorius is sitting next to a woman who is finding the journey tedious. Valorious seems to be able to predict minor accidents caused by the jolting movement of the train. He boycotts timepieces and yet he knows the time precisely. He begins to relate a story to the woman that begins on a similar train journey as though he is recounting a past event. Next we witness a scuffle taking place on a darkened railway platform which doesn't allow us to identify those involved. Then we see a man called McFee giving a lift to a stranger by the name of Dunlap. Dunlap seems edgy and it's obvious he has a secret that is troubling him. The rest of the story takes place in and around a small town boarding house and it's various lodgers. There Dunlap is befriended by a boy who likes to secretly steal out at night. Dunlap seems to become worried by what the boy may have witnessed during one of the boy's nights out. This is a fairly suspenseful noir-mystery which is the one and only production by a company called M. R. S.
