Last Train from Bombay is a 1952 American thriller film directed by Fred F. Sears and starring Jon Hall, Christine Larson and Lisa Ferraday.[1] It was produced by Sam Katzman for distribution by Columbia Pictures and partly shot at the Iverson Movie Ranch. The film's sets were designed by the art director Paul Palmentola.

Plot[edit]

An American diplomat is accused of murder during an Indian civil war and becomes involved in an assassination plot.

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

The film was devised to cash in on the then-current dispute between India and Pakistan. Filming started 11 March 1952.[2] Columbia wanted to cast Hall alongside his then wife Frances Langford.[3] It was the last of several films Hall made for Sam Katzman.[4]

Reception[edit]

In its review of the film, the Los Angeles Times said "you chew your fingernails."[5]
