Neo-realist French style., 28 January 1999
7/10
Author: mifunesamurai from Australia

Rene Clement's first feature about the French rail workers who under the strangle hold of the dirty Nazis put up a fight by causing chaos with the running of the trains. A neo-realist style with unprofessional actors.
