DVD Reviews of The Great Locomotive Chase
DVD Review: Exciting Disney movie based on a true story
Summary: 4 Stars
Based on true events, The Great Locomotive Chase is a Disney movie that has never gotten the recognition like some others, notably the Davy Crockett series, but it is an exciting, well-told story about an incident in the Civil War. James Andrews is a Union spy who shows his loyalty to the South by working as a blockade runner. Andrews is asked by a Union general upon reporting to undertake a dangerous mission. With a small group of men, get behind Confederate lines, steal a locomotive and race back to safety, tearing up track and burning bridges all the way so Confederate reinforcements can't get up to the lines for an upcoming attack. But with Confederates right on their tail, can they make it back? This was a short movie, about 85 minutes, but after the first 20-25 minutes, it's one extended chase scene which is exciting all the way until the end. Be forewarned if little kids are watching, this isn't your typical happy ending. The movie benefits from the locations in Georgia and North Carolina, it looks like the same areas seen in the DC movies, and the train footage is excellent. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!
Less than a year since wrapping up the five-part Davy Crockett shows on Disneyland, Fess Parker plays James Andrews, the leader of a small group of raiders trying to complete their dangerous mission behind enemy lines. Think of a more formal Davy Crockett for the character. Jeffrey Hunter is very good as William Fuller, the train conductor in hot pursuit of the raiders as they race toward safety. John Lupton is good as William Pittenger, the most visible of Andrews' raiders who becomes almost a second-in-command. Fans of Disney movies will appreciate the supporting cast that includes Jeff York, Kenneth Tobey, and Don Megowan. I kept waiting for Buddy Ebsen (Georgie Russel) to show up! The rest of the cast includes Harry Carey JR, Claude Jarman, Eddie Firestone, Slim Pickens, and even Dick Sargent of Bewitched fame in a small part. All around, a really good cast.
The DVD has a very cleaned up widescreen presentation that looks great, especially with the filming locations. I was somehwat disappointed in the special features department because Disney is usually so good with their DVD releases. No special features are added here. Don't let that change your mind though, The Great Locomotive Chase is an exciting Civil War adventure that is exciting from beginning to end!
