James Neilson directs an accordion playing and folk singing James Stewart in a close to run of the mill western. Have yet to figure out the title NIGHT PASSAGE; but its interesting enough. Grant McLaine(Stewart)is working with constructing the railroad through Colorado. After being fired once, he is given another chance to prove himself by hand carrying the railroad's payroll to the end of the line. The workers have not been paid in months because a gang led by Whitey Harbin(Dan Duryea)keeps robbing the payroll. Part of that gang is McLaine's own brother known at the Utica Kid(Audie Murphy).
Beautiful Colorado scenery; quirky villains; a real good shoot out and an outstanding supporting cast featuring: Dianne Foster, Hugh Beaumont, Elaine Stewart, Jack Elam, Brandon De Wilde and Jack Elam.
