The Train
Recently shown on TCM. Excellent film with action, intrigue, plot twists and great performances by all. Much better than the Monument Men. See it if you have the chance. Now on TCM on Demand. Good chess match between Nazi Colonel and Resistance Leader. Set in France 1944, black and white. NO CGI.

Of note: Train derailment scene where several cameras got wiped out. One camera got the action.

I made sure to get this DVD in the collection so I can re-watch it every so often. Good story and equally good acting. I really enjoy Paul Scofield's acting and diction - especially in "The Train" and "A Man For All Seasons".
