Trivia:
In the final confrontation between Lancaster's Labiche character and the Nazi colonel played by Paul Scofield, the shooting conditions were so cold that Scofield reportedly had to talk while inhaling so clouds of warm breath wouldn't appear on film. His voice was looped in later. moreGoofs:
Continuity: In the switch tower, after the sirens sound, Labiche uses binoculars to watch Papa Boule engineering the train. Next shot the binoculars disappear. moreQuotes:
[The tracks are being cleared after the deliberate wreck.]Colonel von Waldheim: I asked for two cranes.
Major Herren: It took an order from staff headquarters to get this one. With von Runstedt falling back, the army has other uses for railway equipment.
Colonel von Waldheim: All von Runstedt can lose is men. This train is more valuable.

This is truly one of the great action/adventure war films. The Train is filled with action and edge-of-your-seat suspense. Lancaster is superb as the everyman Labiche. It is a tough and gritty performance. Scofield is equally good as the obsessive Colonel. The theme of human lives versus art is well explored by Frankenheimer. Watch this film and enjoy. It gets better with repeated viewings.
