Review of Night Train to Munich (1940) by Leighton T — 03 Aug 2011
This is a lovely potboiler from first-time helmer Carol Reed. It builds wonderfully, albeit slowly, full of nice humor and intrigue until it's miniature-based stellar finale. At a time when tensions were high with Hitler's Third Reich taking over country after country in Europe and become a global threat, to do a movie like this was a bold move for the British film industry, and it pays off nicely.
Everything is downplayed so that you almost don't realize how good, how much fun the film is and the work from Lockwood, Harrison, and Henreid is all enables this.
