Additional InformationThe 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.

    Railway themed wartime struggle.

    Great WW2 story based on facts apparently, but no doubt enhanced by the film makers. Superb period atmosphere which brings out the wear and neglect brought about by war and the confiscation of material from France by the Nazis. Suspenseful but involving a great number of deaths. Real train crashes at a about to be closed SNCF steam depot of interest to railway enthusiasts.

    Must Not Miss

    This is one of the best films I have ever seen. I have seen it on TV and video in the past but not for a long time. If you like WW2 films, they don't come much better than this. Burt Lancaster is superb.

    Fairly brisk-paced war drama, with the French Resistance desperate to outwit their German pursuers.
