Night Train to Munich (Criterion Collection)

A twisting, turning, cloak-and-dagger delight, Night Train to Munich is a gripping, occasionally comic confection from writers Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat (Hitchcock's the Lady Vanishes) and director Carol Reed (The Fallen Idol, the Third Man). Paced like an out-of-control locomotive, Night Train to Munich takes viewers on a World War IIera journey from Prague to England to the Swiss Alps, as Nazis pursue a Czech scientist and his daughter (Margaret Lockwood, of the Lady Vanishes), who are being aided by a debonair British undercover agent, played by Rex Harrison (Major Barbara, My Fair Lady). This captivating, long-overlooked adventure-which also features Casablanca's Paul Henreid mixes comedy, romance, and thrills with enough skill and cleverness to give the master of suspense himself pause.
