Trivia Question; Name the RR station in "Double Indemnity"
Posted by pbjwilson on Thursday, June 15, 2006 11:08 PM
"Double Indemnity" was on TV the other day. Great old movie with Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck, Edward G. Robinson. In the movie they stage the death of Barbara Stanwycks husband. He supposedly falls off the observation platform of the observation car on a train.

Question - What was the name on the train station where Fred MacMurray, posing as Stanwycks husband, boards the train?

Hint: Could it be early product placement by a toy train maker?

My guess (not having seen the movie) would be Middletown.

Yep, Fred MacMurray boards a the train at Glendale station. So do you think Louis Marx gave a little something to the movie makers to get Glendale staion in the movie? The world may never know.
