Film Synopsis
The Narrow Margin (1952) follows a hard-edged detective assigned to escort a mob widow on a cross-country train so she can testify against a crime syndicate. As hired killers close in and shifting identities blur friend from foe, the claustrophobic setting tightens around them with mounting peril. This lean railroad noir blends relentless momentum and moral tension in a taut study of duty under pressure.
