One More Train To Rob (1971)

A train robber (George Peppard) is betrayed by his partner (John Vernon) and ends up in prison for three years. When he gets out, his first task is to get even. But his partner is now a respectable citizen married to the woman (Diana Muldaur) he stole from his former cohort. A decent western is in here somewhere but the film is bogged down with lots of lame comedy. For example, a bit about a continuously fainting mother isn't funny the first time around yet the gag is repeated three more times! There is a major subplot featuring Chinese miners and it's refreshing to see that the stereotype is avoided and the characters are treated not only with dignity but have some resolve of their own. The cinematography by Alric Edens (MINNIE AND MOSKOWITZ) can't quite overcome that Universal TV look that permeated their product in the mid 1960s to 1970s but it's sharp with vivid colors. Directed by Andrew V. McLaglen. With France Nuyen and Soon Tek Oh as a pair of lovebirds and with a stellar cast of character actors including Marie Windsor, John Doucette, Harry Carey Jr., Richard Loo, Joan Shawlee, Donald Barry, George Chandler and Ben Cooper.
