Railroaded! (dir. Anthony Mann, 1947) is a perfect B-movie: nasty, brutish, and short. The cast includes Hugh Beaumont (later of Leave It to Beaver), John Ireland (Red River), and Jane Randolph (Cat People). GLadstone was indeed a Los Angeles telephone exchange. And Anthony Mann made some modestly terrific thrillers.

Our exchange when I was a kid in Toledo was Taylor, later Oxford, still later Oxford 1, and finally 691. The last change came when I was a freshman in high school.
Cheers!
