TERROR ON A TRAIN

Original U.S. 22 inch x 28 inch Half Sheet Poster for the 1953 Ted Tetzlaff Thriller TERROR ON A TRAIN (TIME BOMB) starring Glenn Ford, Anne Vernon, Maurice Denham, Harcourt Williams, Victor Madder, Harold Warrender, John Horsley, Campbell Singer, Bill Fraser and Harry Locke.

Released in the U.S. as Terror on a Train, the British MGM production Time Bomb is brief, to the point, and so suspenseful it hurts. Glenn Ford stars as Peter Lyncourt, who during WW II had been in charge of a bomb demolition unit. As luck would have it, Lyncourt and his French wife Janine (Anne Vernon) are in the vicinity when a freight train carrying explosives to a dockyard chugs into view. Someone has placed a time bomb on the train, forcing an evacuation of the neighborhood and the summoning of the “UXB” corps. When all is said and done, however, it is up to Lyncourt to defuse the bomb, if he can locate the well-hidden fuse, that is!

The poster is in very good folded condition with a one inch tear at the left end of the horizontal fold and a half inch tear at the bottom of the vertical fold.
