Editorial Review: Amazon.com: By the mid-1940s, Universal's singing superstar, the twice-married Deanna Durbin, had outgrown her innocent ingenue image, and although her postwar films were mostly bland, Lady on a Train is a delicious hybrid of '40s romantic comedy and Agatha Christie mystery. A glamorous Deanna witnesses a murder, gets mixed up with the dead man's wacky family, and croons Cole Porter's "Night and Day" with throbbing allure. Five more Durbin features followed--but you're wise to make this smartly crafted Train, complete with surprising denouement, your final stop. (P.S. In 1950, Durbin wed Lady director Charles David, a union that's lasted half a century.) --Steven Smith Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I'm glad the lady's on the train, the other way round could be painful...Lady on a Train (1945) Mystery loving Nikki Collins (Deanna Durbin) witnesses a murder in a building outside her train window, then can't convince anyone she saw it in this entertaining comedy mystery. When she can't get the police to believe her, (they think the death was an accident) she turns to mystery writer Wayne Morgan (David Bruce) but he is also skeptical. Nikki then mixes herself up with the dead man's family (including Ralph Bellamy-Trading Places) to try to prove there was a murder, even ... Read More Rating: - Deanna in delicious film noir musical!Another radical change-of-pace for the rapidly maturing songbird Deanna Durbin, LADY ON A TRAIN (1945) was directed by her future husband Charles David. This entertaining murder mystery, with liberal doses of comedy (and chances for Durbin to belt out a few choice musical numbers) is a winner all the way! Young socialite Nikki Collins (Deanna Durbin) witnesses a man being murdered from her train window. When the police refuse to believe her, Nikki decides to take action herself, enlisting ... Read More Rating: - Deanna Durbin, grown up and starring in a sort of a noir, with comedy and murder. Not bad at allA film noir starring Deanna Durbin may seem as natural as eating an oyster with a splash of chocolate syrup, but if you're adventurous, well, somebody has to be the first to try it. Actually, the movie's a pleasant romp. Lady on a Train is a comedy mystery with some nice noir characteristics...shadows, trains, bodies and a climax in a darkened office building that would make Dick Powell feel right at home. Nikki Collins (Durbin) is a society deb from San Francisco coming in on the train for ... Read More Rating: - Deanna Durbin Sings & Plays a Plucky Gal in this Mystery/Comedy."Lady on a Train" is a comic mystery starring singer/actress Deanna Durbin, who was a sensationally popular star of the 1930s and 1940s before retiring from show business in 1949 at the age of 27. The film may be of mild interest to film noir fans since it is a noir spoof, but this is primarily a lighthearted comedy that showcases Ms. Durbin's unaffected manner and singing talent. Nikki Collins (Deanna Durbin), a young society woman, witnesses a man being murdered from the window of her train ... Read More Rating: - I Wish There Was MoreThis story revolves around a girl (Deanna Durbin) who happens to witness what looks like a murder outside of her train window. However, the girl was reading a murder mystery novel on the train, and one suspects that her accusations may be the result of an active imagination. The police suspect the same thing, which forces her to go to the only other source of help she knows, the author of the murder mystery novel. This film is much more comical than thrilling fueled by the girl's eccentricity, but it is no ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
