REVIEWS

Review by Doug Broughman (posted on 31-Aug-2007)

This movie takes place in Nazi occupied France towards the end of WWII. The Germans are being forced back to Germany by the Allies. A German officer with a love for fine art tries to smuggle priceless paintings back to Germany, via the French railroad system. Burt Lancaster leads the Marque(SP?) and resistance fighters to stop the train. Black & White, I think this is a very underrated movie.
