Lady on a Train is a 1945 American crime comedy film noir directed by Charles David and starring Deanna Durbin, Ralph Bellamy, and David Bruce.

Production

In October 1943 Leslie Charteris was reportedly working on the story as a vehicle for Deanna Durbin. Charteris worked on it immediately after his honeymoon. The film was part of an attempt by producer Felix Jackson to diversify Durbin's image, that also included Christmas Holiday.

In September 1944 Charles David, who has just directed The Faries Tale Murder was assigned to direct.

Donald Cook, Robert Paige and Franchot Tone were discussed as possible leading men. In January the job went to David Bruce who had played support in Durbin's previous two films. Felix Jackson says Bruce was cast on the strength of his work in Christmas Holiday.

There was some second unit location work done on the New York subway in November 1944. Filming was to have begun December 15, 1944, but did not start until January 17, 1945.

The cast also included Dan Duryea and Ralph Bellamy, who was borrowed from Hunt Stromberg.
