Trouble is it's all too true…hundreds have been gassed electrocuted poisoned to please sociopathic and/or faustian police…..and the standover tactics….the bullying…millions of times wouldn't even come close on reports.
Try this (as I've just done): start the move in any of 10 random places. Almost EVERY ONE of them is a recognizable, characteristic film noir scene (!) That's pretty good . . .
That lady's scream at the beginning was disconcerting, especially at 3:30 AM when the rest of my family was sleeping, volume adjust. Cool movie, thank you.
Why would Duke contact Rosie since he knows he's got a record & it's going to implicate him? That's just the beginning of the holes. Well directed, but amateur script!
Daniel, you must read between the lines, the reply was obviously tongue in cheek. It wasn't his nose that was being talked about, OK? Ireland was famous for the same thing as Forrest Tucker, Milton Buerl ( sp ), Steve Cochran, Nick Adams, and many other studs in Hollywood.
Fantastic movie and all of the actors were great but the woman with brunette hair looked like my mom who was a beautiful woman because I found an old picture of her, Their is a lot of action and mystery etc plus it;s in black and white so it's a classic movie. Thanks for the upload MPFY, Ed
The old story – people who have a good alibi usually need one. Proving a negative is impossible. You can only prove you weren't somewhere by proving you were somewhere else. Would you want unhinged, dumb-blonde Clara testifying on your behalf on the stand? Mr Magoo would make a better witness
'RAILROADED' definition: in the venu of the movie, it is the sense of something forced through unjustly or without proper regard for those affected. It's origin refers to the days when railroads were built often going straight through private lands and geographical features. What an appropriate name for the film in light of the policemen's treatment of an innocent young man. There are so many good comments highlighting the good things about this movie, no need to say more. Thank you, Motion Pictures For You!!
First Film Noir I saw after becoming fascinated by them about 12 months ago.
A brief story…
I had always had an interest in Film Noir, attracted to the themes, fashions, and style of them. Like many people who don't know much about Film Noir, I thought it was all about private detectives investigating cases accompanied by ubiquitous saxophone music, and, being stonewalled by femme fatales at every turn. Only later did I learn that all three of those things are rather rare in Film Noir.
The story is how I became interested in Film Noir a year ago…
I was out and about on a wintry night in an inner-city suburb, walking down a street where a 5-storey apartment block faces a 10-storey one. On the balcony of one of the apartments in the smaller building was a young man practicing his trumpet playing, the sound of the lone instrument echoing beautifully between the buildings. At that moment, wrapped in a long coat and with steaming breath leading my way, I felt like a character in a Film Noir, a lone man walking to his fate on the city streets. All I was really doing was walking to the supermarket to buy milk and dog food, but anyway… I will never forget that trumpet and the effect it had on me.
I went to the library the next day to work, and checked out the DVD for any Film Noir they might have. For some reason, the only one they had was Railroaded! No The Big Sleep, no The Maltese Falcon, no Touch of Evil, just Railroaded. Borrowed it, liked it, been addicted ever since, and have seen many many many Films Noir.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading. Just felt like sharing.
"Who would eat a cake with a gun in it?" Lol!
clothing in the 1940's must have been really absorbent, be cause you never see blood stains when the people get shot…
: D
Is that what Ward Cleaver did before he married June and then they had the Beaver?
That's why I can't see Ward Cleaver as a bad guy…….

That's pretty good . . .
IMDB rating: 6.7 . . .
In the Era of Political Correctness (Puritanism with a vengeance) nobody in Hollywood would ever dare title a film Railroaded.
Chilling; when the evidence is stacked against an innocent. All of Mann's films withstand the test of time.
Hugh Beaumont played college football, and held a Master's Degree in theology.

Good film.
Thankyou for posting xx
32:02 awesome cat fight!!! reooowww

John Ireland was most famous for ONE thing, and I suppose it was the only real reason Joan Crawford did a film with him.

What the other guy said on 52:19 until 52:22? Could someone tell me?
I wish Rhonda Flemming had been chosen .

0:48 Nice to know that the sound mixer was the Warlord of Mars.

Giving this a thumbs up because the two women had a scrap but the ostrich feathers didn't shed.
Made in 1947
All the women in this picture are as dumb as a sack of rocks.
★★
Love these old film noir B movies…
have never heard a woman scream. I had a gun turned on me, and I was Silent Sam. Also I have never fainted. Time to show the truth.
Ryan should have learned rule number one in being brought in as a suspect: don't talk to the cops. There's no way it can help you.
The way the guy drives at 35:40 is hilarious, shaking the wheel around as if it's a toy car.
The cops in this film do a pretty poor job of protecting people.
What does betting on the bank tails mean?

LOVE that opening piano concerto! AWESOME!
Ward Cleaver!
I downloaded this Thank you

Hugh Beaumont as Ward Cleaver was probably so pissy all the time thinking of wall these good roles he wished he could still be playing…

I like the movie, but the women got just what she deserved. I would what it again. though
I see "Leave it to Beaver's" father Hugh Beaumont in this.
Enjoyable film and a quality upload. Thanks for posting.
Ward Cleaver!!
