Night Train to Munich (UK) | (90 min; 1940; b/w; English) | ( Click here to watch )

Director: Carol Reed

With Margaret Lockwood, Rex Harrison, Paul Henreid

Carol Reed’s Night Train to Munich is a twisting, turning, cloak-and-dagger delight, combining comedy, romance, and thrills with the greatest of ease. Paced like an out-of-control locomotive, Night Train takes viewers on a journey from Prague to England to the Swiss Alps as Nazis pursue a Czech scientist and his daughter (Margaret Lockwood), who are being aided by a debonair British undercover agent, played by Rex Harrison. This captivating, long-overlooked adventure is a deftly concocted spy game that could give Alfred Hitchcock, the Master of Suspense a run for his money.
