I cannot believe how bad this one is. It would put an old-fashioned radio soap opera to shame! It is literally terrible; the only bright spot in this little play comes from the opening scenes when there is sunlight. It soon began to go nowhere and the longer one watches the faster it seems to get nowhere. It is so filled with trite babble that I found myself hoping that giant monster lurking in the mist would hurry up and have these losers for supper.
The Narrow Margin, while a great representative of it genre, is amazingly similar to a film made 11 years before: "Sleepers West" starring Lloyd Nolan, Mary Beth Hughes, Lynn Bari and a fine cast of supporting actors. Sleepers West is one of several Mike Shayne entries with Nolan as the wise-cracking private eye. Both films feature lawmen protecting female witnesses to murders and both films are set on trains moving to the West Coast of the U.S. While Marie Windsor is a lady cop playing decoy witness in The Narrow Margin, Mary Beth Hughes is the actual witness being guarded by gumshoe Shane in Sleepers West. Sleepers is slightly lighter than Narrow Margin and may not qualify as film noir. At any rate, both films represent a time when train travel was in vogue and could be exciting and even deadly.
This film gives the viewer a tantalizing hint at the scope and depth of O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series. There are, I believe, some 19 of them. I have read 15 and hunger for more. The characters in the film are straight out of the books and as a reader, you get to know them. The series is really one continuous story that takes Aubrey, Matuarin and the rest of the crew to the four corners of the earth where they do battle with the bad guys--usually the French but sometmes the Americans--which battles O'Brian describes in graphic detail. This film is one you can watch over again without the onset of boredom. My only complaint at this time is that other Aubrey-Maturin stories have not been filmed. Believe me, there are more great stories of these men and the crews that sailed with them.
