Miss Frontier Mail 1936

Miss Frontier Mail is a 1936 Indian Bollywood action film released on 1936. The film is directed by Homi Wadia.
This follow-up of Hunterwali (1935) was Nadias best-known train movie. Savita (Nadia), aka Miss 1936, is an amateur hunter while her brother Jayant (Jaidev, later a noted lyricist) is an amateur film maker. Their father, Maganlal (Mohammed), arrested for the murder of a station-master, is defended by their uncle Shaymlal (Sayani), who is in fact the mysterious Signal X. Shyamlal causes a major train smash-up (convincingly shot with miniatures) so as to promote his new airline. He then implicates hero Sundar (Mansoor), son of the railway president, in the crime. Savita overcomes the nasty Signal X, whose henchmen are caught on film by Jayant as they sabotage a bridge. Nadia indulges in extensive fist-fights, set to heavy sound effects, and a famous battle alongside Sundar atop a moving train. The film evokes Walter Fordes British hit The Ghost Train (1931), combined with Feuillade-type deserted houses and mysterious radio messages.
