Editorial Review:
Product Description:
This tense 1964 action drama from John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate) stars Burt Lancaster as a member of the French Resistance trying to prevent Nazi looters from taking valuable art treasures out of the country. A great ride all the way with Frankenheimer at his inimitable best. This is a true human-scale action movie of the sort we used to think of before "action" meant blowing up asteroids in space. Kinetic but almost rueful in tone the films chases and fights are not just eye candy but rather encourage audience involvement in moral stakes. Crisp and serious performances all around from Lancaster and 1960s icons Paul Scofield and Jeanne Moreau. System Requirements:Starring: Burt Lancaster et al. Director: John Frankenheimer Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: UPC: 027616753922 Manufacturer No: M110330
Amazon.com essential video:
This is one of John Frankenheimer's breathless gems--all marvelous action that never lets up. Burt Lancaster plays a French train engineer during the waning days of the German occupation who tries to prevent Nazi colonel Paul Scofield from transporting a precious art collection back to Germany. Utilizing sabotage and cunning deception, Lancaster and his Resistance colleagues stall for time with the Allies on their way. It's a brilliantly made film, showing off Lancaster's acrobatic skills (he performed all of his own stunts) and Frankenheimer's sense of pacing and brilliant use of space. It's choreographed with the utmost precision (those are real explosions during the pivotal strafing sequence) and extremely authentic in its details. Lancaster is in rare minimalist form, and Scofield manages to extract intelligence and sympathy. A firecracker action film shot in crisp black and white, with yet another telling audio commentary by the always instructive director. --Bill Desowitz

For a black and white it was one of the best movies of WW II.

Classic film, good action, great story. Even if you don't like war films try it.

This is a wonderful movie which pits the efforts of the French underground against a Nazi plot to ship a trainful of paintings back to Germany. A reluctant Maquisard (played by Burt Lancaster) eventually hatches a plan to prevent the paintings from disappearing into the Third Reich.
Black and white really works for this film. The visuals are great and some of the scenes are priceless. If you like war movies you'll love this one.
Rating: -
A good action suspense film of the French Underground in WWII. Burt was the right actor for main hero
Rating: -
What a great flic. As a train buff I thoroughly enjoyed the central character, to me anyway, that being the train. Lots of action shots of that great steamer moving along. The cast of Lancaster and Scofield fit their parts perfectly. A great story with lots of suspense. In my top twenty-five films of all time.
