The Train (5/10) Movie CLIP - Train Wreck (1964) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Labiche (Burt Lancaster) deliberately crashes the train and escapes on foot.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
John Frankenheimer directs Burt Lancaster in the tense spy thriller The Train. Lancaster plays Labiche, a French railway inspector. Allied forces are threatening to liberate Paris, so Col. Franz von Waldheim (Paul Scofield) is ordered to move the priceless works of art from the Jeu de Paume Museum to the fatherland. The head of the museum (Suzanne Flon) attempts to convince Labiche that he should sabotage the train on which they are transporting the art. Labiche is more focused on destroying a trainload of German weapons. After his friend is killed trying to stop the train with the art, and after a consciousness-raising conversation with a hotel owner (Jeanne Moreau), Labiche resolves to save the antiquities. Lancaster and Frankenheimer had worked together previously on both Birdman of Alcatraz and Seven Days in May.

HIT US UP:

It was filmed at a time when there were plenty of surplus steam locomotives and obsolete rollingstock available for wrecking. All of the locomotives in the movie would have been in service during the 1940's. Very realistic portrayal of French railway operations after D-day with the Germans in full retreat.

[CFRTrainSpotter]

3 years ago, a guy was saying that most of the comments were jokes about Thomas The Tank Engine but now most of the comments are about how great this scene is (i agree). Lovely to see everything back to normal, as it should.

[atilllathehun]

One of the most powerful endings of any war film. Great story, great cast.

[FifoTheItalian]

This film is actually soo cool, no cgi, everything real, etc. And plus the way how they dont talk that much, but you understand what they are doing!

[daakudaddy]

What a well shot sequence of scenes. I ache to see such completeness in today's movies. They make up for the lack of direction, camerwork and editing with big budgets, 4KHD and intense music.

People really do work better under constraints.

I saw this movie when it hit the theaters in 1964. I am giving away my age here. A great movie, really entertaining, although it did have some sad scenes. Burt was fantastic, and the train scenes were wonderful.

[rainbowrailroadcrossing]

This is a perfect example of a masterpiece without needing CG effects

[albertdesalvo]

This was and still is one of the finest and best movies I have ever seen hands down

[JohnH]

French actor Albert Remy, portraying Didont, is the one who uncouples the engine and tender from the rest of the train while moving, a very dangerous stunt he bravely performed himself rather than have a stunt double do it for him.

[TheMichaelDStorey]

This remains the greatest Train Movie that I have ever seen.
Great acting, great training

[ImranAhmed-sbbw]

One of the greatest war movies, l have seen. A true and clear example of patriotism.

[triplestarplushtheplushana]

I have no jokes for this movie, this is an actual decent movie

[johnfellows]

The town where this crash was filmed was massively insured and shut down, with all the gas, electric and water switched off
for the duration of the filming !!

[devansh]

GTA version of Thomas and his friends.

[tutts]

Real trains and real actors, brilliant movie.

[stjnygr]

Everything is natural, no computer effects !!! Bravo!

[Balrog]

Frankenheimer had the total French State Railways cooperation for this and it shows, this a masterpiece thanks to that and his skills as a film director. All the actors are good not only the superb Burt Lancaster, this movie is a real treat.

[inconspicuous]

Holy shit this is good even by today's standards

[kudalaMangalooru]

Great climactic scene! John Frankenheimer was one hell of a film maker! 'The train' is one of his best. Unbelievable action sequences, great storyboarding, brilliant editing, acting & cinematography! Dare I say, it even surpasses all the CG generated crap that come out these days.
