Chartroose Caboose (1960)

A young couple (Molly Bee, Ben Cooper) planning to elope get picked up by Woody Watts, a retired train conductor (Edgar Buchanen), and spend the morning in his chartreuse-colored caboose which is his home. The couple are enroute to Denton, where the soon-to-be bride's sister is waiting with the preacher. However, her father issued a missing person's report and they find that police are searching for them, so they return to the safety of the caboose. Meanwhile, Woody's caboose ends up being moved down the track when another conductor tells Woody that a new company took over the line and all parked cabooses are to be cleared off the tracks! A few weeks ago, I was watching The Young Swingers (featuring Molly Bee) and this film came up as a suggestion in my Youtube feed. I'm so glad that it did because it was a delightful film to watch and one that I will definitely return to. The plot to Chartroose Caboose may sound overly simple but the movie holds your attention, in no small part due…
