Product Description

 
Drawing inspiration from Jack London's adventures traveling with hobos aboard trains throughout the U.S., this gritty Depression-era drama features outstanding performances from Lee Marvin, Keith Carradine, and Ernest Borgnine. Shack (Borgnine) is a cruel railroad agent who makes it his personal mission to rid the world of hobos out for a free ride. Legendary tough-guy hobo A-1 (Marvin) vows to ride Shack's train to its destination and survive, which would earn him the title of "Emperor of the North Pole." A humorous game of cat-and-mouse ensues, complicated by the pesky presence of the dimwitted Cigaret (Carradine), who is determined to prove himself but instead just gets in the way.

Marvin and an ax-wielding Borgnine on a train. Any questions?

Date of Review:  Aug 13, 2006
The Bottom Line: Look, it?s Aldrich, Marvin, and Ernest Borgnine running around atop a train with an axe. What more do you want? What more could you want?
Review: Set in the Depression Era, with hoboes trying to hitch rides on trains, risking their own lives. A sicko conductor named 'Shack' (Ernest Borgnine) doesn't take kindly to free-loaders, and in fact, isn't adverse to killing the moochers with his...
