Lady On A Train [VHS]
By the mid-1940s, Universal's singing superstar, the twice-married  Deanna Durbin, had outgrown her innocent ingenue image, and although her postwar films were mostly bland,Lady on a Trainis a delicious hybrid of '40s romantic comedy and Agatha Christie mystery.  A glamorous Deanna witnesses a murder, gets mixed up with the dead man's wacky family, and croons Cole Porter's "Night and Day" with throbbing allure.  Five more Durbin features followed--but you're wise to make this smartly craftedTrain, complete with surprising denouement, your final stop.  (P.S. In 1950, Durbin wedLadydirector Charles David, a union that's lasted half a century.)--Steven Smith
