Night Train To Munich
A twisting, turning, cloak-and-dagger delight, Night Train To Munich is a gripping, occasionally comic confection from writers Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat and director Carol Reed. Paced like an out-of-control locomotive, Night Train To Munich takes viewers on a World War II-era journey from Prague to England to the Swiss Alps, as Nazis pursue a Czech scientist and his daughter, who are being aided by a debonair British undercover agent, played by Rex Harrison. This captivating, long-overlooked adventure - which also features Casablanca's Paul Henreid - mixes comedy, romance, and thrills with enough skill and cleverness to give the master of suspense himself pause.
