Still an Excellent Movie
Saw this movie when I was a teenager. I'm not a teenager any more, but the movie remains entertaining and a great showcase for two old pros.
Note: Some wanted to title the movie "Emperor of the North Pole," a term used at the period in which the movie is set for the "King of the Hobos." The point being that "Emperor of the North Pole" is the grand, exalted ruler of...absolutely nothing! Don't know why they shortened the title; I'd have liked it the original way.Read full review

Most folks wouldn’t know what emperor of the north would mean and think.. what could be entertains about a story of a train and a conductor
Great cast, great plot and very accurate, the railroad conductors during the Great Depression we’re responsible for the safety of the train and crew.
Hobos were notorious for starting a fire in a open box car to keep warm then setting the box car and train on fire, many Hobos were just trying to stay alive and look for work, adventure seekers and others were railroad haters and vengeful because they had been thrown off a train, in those days conductors didn’t stop a train to throw off a
“Bum” they just threw them off moving or not.Read full review

Archetypal hero/villain movie, with some really authentic details for railroad buffs.
For train buffs and nostalgia nuts, a great movie. Sure, characterization is pretty one dimensional but a slice of what could and did happen with big corporation "policing" during the depression. Near the start of the movie, the crowd yelling from the hobo jungle could almost be a Greek tragedy chorus. Read full review

Great Old Movie
This was a favorite of mine years ago and it still is. A great story set in the time when the country was in the midst of the Great Depression and people were just trying to survive. Two fantastic actors in Lee Marvin and Earnest Borgnine, a must see.Read full review
