Synopsis: The Train (1965)
Synopis: The duo of director John Frankenheimer and actor Burt Lancaster again join forces with the latter starring as French railway inspector Labiche. With Allied forces closing in on occupied Paris, Herman Goering orders Col. Franz von Waldheim (Paul Scofield) to move the priceless art from the Jeu de Paume Museum to Germany by train. The museum's curator, Mme. Villard (Suzanne Flon) tries to cajole Labiche into stopping the art train, but he's far more concerned with blowing up a German armaments train. Meanwhile, Papa Boule (Michel Simon), an aged railwayman, uses the distraction of the Allied bombing of a nearby munitions train to burn out the engines of the train carrying the art, and is killed by the Nazis for his efforts. Hotelkeeper Christine (Jeanne Moreau), has managed to persuade Labiche of the importance of the art, and when the livid Waldheim orders him to drive the treasure-bearing train, he's formulated a plan to foil the Nazi theft. He fabricates a series of interlocking ruses which lead the Germans to believe that the train has crossed into Germany, when, in reality, it's simply going in circles around Paris. Lancaster leads an exceptional cast in this engrossing film, based on a true story. Michel Simon is especially memorable, as is the gritty, minimally-lit black and white photography of Jean Tournier.Features: The Train (1965)

One of the best war movies
, September 3, 2003Reviewer: John - See all John's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Train review helpful I rented this thru netflix and I loved this movie. The story and acting was superb. The special effects were out of this world. Its terrible movies like this aren't in the top 100 movies made. Its terrible that a movie like this takes a back seat to movies like saving private ryan and all the other modern day mediocre movies. If your looking for good movies, try netflix. 15000 dvd's for rent. For $20 you can rent as many as you can watch a month. I get about 15 movies a month for $20. Free shipping back and forth. ... -
