Film: The Train (1964)

directed by John Frankenheimer

“A beautiful, muscular, smart thriller... The film holds as strong today as it did in its day.”

Movie: The Train by John Frankenheimer. A beautiful, muscular, smart thriller. Production fraught w complications birthed a great movie.

script by blacklisted Walter Bernstein. Lancaster, caught in mid-career hubris, a colossal presence. Scofield his intellectual foe.

the final act has been much-imitated. The film holds as strong today as it did in its day. Box office failure in US, a hit abroad.

Michel Simon is great in it as is Jeanne Moreau and it has a great Jarre score. Seek it

What Lancaster achieves on the last third of the film, at 50, with a torn knee is more than most stuntmen could do in good health.
