Now this one was a total surprise. I had no idea what this one was gonna do but wow....what a story.
A woman who's pregnant by her loser boyfriend begs him to take her back or give her some money. She needs something as she's about to have a baby. He won't talk to her but he slides her a Train ticket to San Fransisco under the door and she takes it. She boards the train and meets a nice couple and the woman happens to be pregnant also. They give her her husbands seat and they become friends on the ride. The train crashes and they declare the wrong person dead and she takes the place of the pregnant dead girl on the train. She only does this cause she has no way of taking care of her baby. Unfortunately her new family is so nice and caring it just guilts her throughout the entire time. After a while, her old boyfriend finds his way back and tries to blackmail her. He'll take the child way and tell her new family she's a fraud. After this, it's a wild ride.
I was really pleased after seeing this one. Lyle Bettger plays one of the nastiest most worthless characters you'll ever see on film. This guy has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Waiting for the end of this film will keep you right on the edge of your seat. You feel nothing but empathy as Stanwycks' character is not a cheat or wannabe fraud but a mother who has to take care of her child somehow. This was her only option.
Take a look at this fine film and start by sitting right on the edge of the couch , cause that's where you'll remain until the end of the film.
