The Train, 1959, B&W. With Burt Lancaster, Paul Scofield and Jeanne Moreau. Directed by John Frankenheimer

The Train revolves around the efforts of the French Resistance railway workers, led by Paris regional manager Paul Labiche (Burt Lancaster), to prevent a trainload of priceless modern French paintings from being shipped to Germany in August 1944 before the liberation of Paris. In his way stands Colonel Franz von Waldheim (a hypnotic Paul Scofield), who conceals his obsession with preserving these works by insisting on their value to the Third Reich’s economy. The great actress Jeanne Moreau appears as the widowed manager of a railway cafe in very much a supporting role.
