#115. Adam Rifkin & James Paxton Discuss LAST TRAIN TO FORTUNE

<p>Director Adam Rifkin and actor James Paxton join this episode of the <em>Movies in Focus</em> podcast to talk about their new film, <em><strong>Last Train To Fortune</strong></em>. </p><p>Also starring Malcolm McDowell, Mary Steenburgen, Bernadette Peters and Laura Marano, Rifkin’s film is a comedy-western that plays with the genre&#39;s well-worn tropes - but it does so with a good heart and good characterisation. As I say in our discussion - it’s like the type of film that Disney would have made and released in the 1990s. </p><p>During the course of this episode Adam talks about how <em>Last Train To Fortune</em> was written by his mother Michele as part of a screenwriting competition, while James discusses how the film was originally supposed to star his father, the late Bill Paxton, when it was set to be filmed in the 1990s. </p>
