Customer Reviews

A rather sticky wicket

War is about to happen. They make sure you know that. Looks like a scientist has to escape Prague before the NSDAP uses his knowledge for nefarious purposes. If he gets away, they can track him down by duping his naive daughter. But wait, looks like the NSDAP did not plan on mixing wits and guises with tricky Dickey Randall a.k.a. Gus Bennett (Rex Harrison). In this film, it is hard not to think of “Casablanca” (1942) when you see Paul von Hernried. I came to “Night Train to Munich” (1940) rather backward, first watching The Lady Vanishes (1938). Actors, directors, and writers seem to crossover so many times in films of this time that you need a program to keep them apart in your mind. The film is mostly compared to other Carol Reed films. There are plenty of descriptions of the movie. Unfortunately, they either fall short or tell too much detail. I thought at first that it was going to be slow, boring, and stilted dialogue. Where was the train? Make sure to get the Criterion version, as it provides an annotation of the film's date and time.
