lisadawnwidman Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 My mom asked me to try to find this movie from her childhood. So it has to be between 1946 and 1956. it's a black and white movie and it has several scenes on a train (if not all of them). there is a little girl in the movie, for a while she thought it was Shirley Temple but later remembered it wasn't but can't remember who it was. There was a man on the train who didn't like the way it sounded, or it bothered him so he made up a saying or a song to drown out the noise with skalamadoosh/kalamadoosh (sp?) the little girl had a chaperone who turned out to later be her mom and the man and the woman end up falling in love. I'm sorry I don't have more information, I'm just going on what she can remember from her childhood. Thanks for any help you can offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValentineXavier Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I can't quite remember the name myself, but it was shown on TCM within the last year. It was from the 40s, or early 50s. B&W, sort of a comedy/mystery. Is he a reporter, looking for a story? I can't remember the leads. I do recall liking it, and the little onomatopoeic rhyme, to sound like the rails sounds, was infectious. I'm sure someone will remember it.

lisadawnwidman Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 That sounds like what she was telling me. I haven't had the chance to see it yet so I can't give any more info other than what she has told me, and she has been talking about that rhyme since I was a kid so now I really want to find it LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
