Customer reviews of The Train

Customer Rating:  
Summary: Great for WWII buffs, but it didn't do much for me.
Comment: John Frankenheimer directed this semi-grim WWII action film, with Burt Lancaster as a one-man army out to stop the Nazis from plundering all of France's greatest modern art treasures. Frankly, it's not the greatest script, but there is some flashy, impressive B&W cinematography, and an interesting cameo by oafish French character actor Michel Simon (who was the star of Jean Vigo's 1934 masterpiece, "L'Atlante.") This film's epic scope and technical razzle-dazzle both feel a bit mechanical -- one could imagine Joel Schumacher or Brian DePalma directing it, if they'd been active in the 1960s. Nevertheless, WWII buffs and train enthusiasts will dig it. I thought it was okay, but there are plenty of war films that are much better. (Axton)

Summary: The Train
Comment: Well acted, well directed historical fiction about the Nazi invasion of France. Some parts too violent for young kids, but the train wrecks and explosions are masterpieces. Great movie!

Summary: A First-Rate WW2 Action/Thriller
Comment: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: From the Secret Files of Harry Pennypacker
Shadow Watcher
Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake
Directed by John Frankenheimer, THE TRAIN (1964) is a nail-biting thriller starring Burt Lancaster as the leader of the French Resistance who, with his small group of men, must stop a Nazi train that is removing France's most valuable art treasures to Germany as the Allies approach Paris.
Paul Scofield plays the fanatic Nazi Colonel who has devised the plan to steal these great works of art, arguing to his superiors back in Germany that they can be sold on the black market for funds to boost their losing war effort.
What makes the film's two key characters genuinely interesting is that Scofield is a lover of art, whereas Lancaster, a common man, is willing to sacrifice his life and those of his men to save the paintings, even though he has no appreciation whatsoever of their beauty.
Jeanne Moreau co-stars as a hotel owner who helps Lancaster avoid capture.
There is a massive train wreck midway through this movie that is truly awesome.

Summary: Comments on supply of DVDs "The Train" & "Breakheart Pass"
Comment: Both DVDs ordered arrived in good condition. However I had expected (apparently erroneously) that your company,as a supplier to the world market, would supply DVDs suitable to the region from which the order originated. This was not the case. Obviously the DVDs were for the North American region as they could not be played on eqipment in the Australian region. To play them, I had to purchase another DVD player capable of being configured to multiple-region operation. This has enabled me to play "The Train" satisfactorily. Am I saisfied with this purchase and will I buy from amazon. com again? No.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Paris, August 1944. With the Allied army closing in, German commander and art fanatic Colonel von Waldheim (Paul Scofield) steals a vast collection of rare French paintings and loads them onto a train bound for Berlin. But when a beloved French patriot is murdered while trying to sabotage von Waldheim's scheme, Labiche (Burt Lancaster), a stalwart member of the Resistance, vows to stop the train at any cost. Calling upon his vast arsenal of skills, Labiche unleashes a torrent of devastation anddestructionloosened rails, shattered tracks and head-on collisionsin an impassioned, suspense-filled quest for justice, retribution and revenge. Inspired by an actual event and highlighted by spectacular stuntwork and visual effects, The Train is "an edge-of-your-seat, thrilling, suspenseful and superior film" (The Motion Picture Guide).
