The Train (4/10) Movie CLIP - Spitfire Attack (1964) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Labiche (Burt Lancaster) races to safety inside a tunnel when a Spitfire aircraft attacks.

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.

Saw it at our local theatre when I was a kid. Still one of the greatest films ever.

[solarasolarwind]

Wow! I could actually feel the terror, suspense, and emotions of those men on that train! 2mins but a true emotional rollercoaster ride!

"I can't see, cried Henry. Nor could his driver"

"But when he could, it was too late."

When I was a teen I was stuck at my sibling’s volleyball tournament with my parents, and they were talking with other adults, and this elderly man asked what I was interested in, they said I was the biggest fan of movies, and all he asked was if I had seen ‘The Train’, he said it was the best film he’d seen. Almost 10 years later I finally watched it and I can easily conclude that he was completely right. People say movies age but when it comes to the purified excitement/action/thrills and visuals of this movie, its timeless.
I do hope future generations try to get their kids to watch older movies because my fondest memories as a kid were the old movies my dad showed me. That will help create the future’s artists and directors and filmmakers, or at least inspire some creativity and curiosity.
It is honestly disparaging to see my generation turn to TikTok as their main source of entertainment and inspiration. Movies in the past weren’t perfect, nor could they escape racism/sexism/xenophobia of the time, but they brought something original and entertaining and inspiring.

Once an engine being chased by a plane, was afraid of a few bullets that rained. It went into a tunnel, and squeaked through its funnel and never came out again.

Love the sound of the Spitfire's engine as it flys over the second time.

[avatarthanosthelegendarysu]

I love that part where the engineer hits the brakes and the wheels instantly stop and the train slides on the rails creating sparks

[johnishikawa]

This was a terrific scene in the movie . One of my favorite movies . Burt Lancaster was in top form in this film .

[maimzini]

Sometimes it’s rewarding to watch actors doing something rather than saying something. That’s one of the many joys of this scene.

[arjay]

What a great scene, so well done. Burt was just the best.

[kidsoxoxox]

As an ex steam Locomotive driver my Dad hated this movie due to the destruction of engines. Similar to Spitfires, people of these generations had no idea how treasured these magnificent machines would be one day.

[imagaybanana]

1:42 Gordon applied his brakes just in time.

[johnharrill]

This is a GREAT movie. John Frankenheimer was a fabulous director!

[anitasmith]

One of the greatest WWII films ever made.

[zirofastable]

Fun fact : This scene happened in France and the tanks and armored vehicles on the train were originals, a friend of mine went where they crashed the train and he found pieces of tiger and panther in the ground with a metal detector

[robertamatt]

The Train--The station used in the film still exists, they called it Rive Reine, actually it is situated in the small French town of Acquigny just below Rouen on the RN154--The hotel where Burt sneaked out and made contact with the resistance is just behind the station building--The site of the rail crash is just as it was worth a visit if you are in the area. The bridge where Lancaster was shot by the train guard is also just north of the town. A sleepy place with good parking and a very interesting film location history.

[samuelmaltry]

My three favourite hobbies together, trains planes and WW2 😂😂

[RockyRailroadProductions_BSS]

One of my favorite scenes! I'm quite impressed that the little 4-6-0 could successfully stop within the tunnel.

[robertmcghintheorca]

1:42 Yes, this brake screaming sound effect was used relentlessly throughout the model years of "Thomas And Friends".

[leecrt]

What a sequence! It was added late in the production of the film because the producers viewing it thought the middle of the film needed a little added exictment. They certainly got it.
