Hope this is ok to ask here.
I stumbled across a few moments of a film years ago that struck me as amazing due to the stunning black and white 1950s cinematography, but I barely saw much, only a scene or two.
The amazing scene was a chase through a railroad yard, I think possibly thieves on the run from cops... incredible views of the railroad yard and trains, the guys ducking around between trains and railroad cars.
One finally gets to a wooden shack and breaks into it, and (I may be misremembering this part) I think ends up reluctantly hurting or killing a railroad worker that he surprised in there.
The overall feel was sort of a "juvenile deliquent social panic" film I think.
Now, this part I may be confusing from a different movie, but I remember a scene where there's a dormatory for young delinquents and a caring middle-aged man trying to steer them right... and someone ends up going to the gas chamber. I THINK that it might be that the older guy takes the rap for the young kid, but maybe not.
Also, I think that in the railroad yard the young guy's friend might be killed by a train as they are going through it.
As I say, I may be confusing things by adding the trainyard scene to the other story (but maybe I'm not).
I've been trying to track this movie down for over 30 years since I saw that stunning, STUNNING trainyard scene... so I'm sorry my memory is so foggy, it was so long ago.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide and sorry if this is OT or a bother.
