271 - Night Train to Munich, 1940, United Kingdom. Dir. Carol Reed.
Europe is on the brink of war.
Germany begins to occupy Czechoslovakia.
A scientist is wanted for his new technology in armor plating.
He and his daughter seek to escape by plane.
She is arrested by the NAZIs and sent to a concentration camp.
Her father goes into hiding.
A German pretends to be a Czechoslovakian.
An Englishman pretends to be a German.
The woman loves each of them. At different times. In different countries.
Constant games of intrigue shift the plot back and forth.
Caldicott and Charters, from yesterday's The Lady Vanishes, appear.
War. Intrigue. Romance. Drama. Adventure. Suspense. Comic Relief.
A teleferic. An aerial tramway. A cable car.
And a train.
A night train.
To Munich.
If only they can make it to Switzerland.
Before they are caught.
