In a masterpiece train-mystery film with Edmund Lowe.

"Anderson, pass the word along that anybody attempting to leave this train without my expressed permission will be shot on sight."

Lately I have gained a greater appreciation for the talents of actor Edmund Lowe. It is unfortunate that he is not better remembered today. In this vintage murder mystery he is Inspector Dyke, and much of the plot takes place aboard the mail train from Calcutta to Bombay, India. Some favorite moments:

"No one really searches thoroughly, captain, except myself." Well, false modesty is certainly not among Inspector Dyke's flaws!

The body of the missing Sir Anthony Daniels is discovered in the train compartment of John Hawley (Onslow Stevens).

The opening of Doctor Lenoir's (Georges Renavent) black bag, and the disposal of its deadly contents.

The frustrated photographer finally gets a shot. "What a picture, what a picture!"

Inspector Dyke accuses Luke-Patson (Ralph Forbes), who attempts suicide.

The final destination and conclusion, with a hint of Dyke's next adventure. "...and as I remember, his wife was a very charming lady."

I recently watched this film, and it is a gem.

I've also seen a couple of other Edmund Lowe's Universal films, and like Tim, I've also have a greater appreciation for Lowe.

And as far as the best moments go, I think Tim has it pretty much covered.
Of course when I watch "Bombay Mail" again, I'm sure I'll find other favorite moments to add.
