One of my all-time-favorite movies and the best action scenes ever! Beautifully planned, sequenced, acted, edited & of course directed! None of the CG crap!
One of the greatest war films ever made - and this action scene is one of the most exciting sequences ever committed to celluloid. The film's power and realism is enhanced by the superb black and white cinematography.
seen this film so many times yet it holds the same attraction and fascination for me, made in a completely different time when storylines and acting were taken seriously and important. nothing remotely like it today.
The defiant whistle blast at the end. Two fingers to the Spitfire pilot's crappy shooting. How was he to know the locomotive was being driven by French patriots? Labiche wasn't bothered about a trainload of art. Not untill Papa Bull was shot for sabotaging the locomotive pulling said train. The amazing thing was that the SNCF (French state railways) gave the use of a redundant branch line and locomotives due to be scrapped. They all have the remnants of an insulation cage on the tenders for working under the 25Kv electric wires. Imagine a film director being allowed to crash real locomotives today, or blow holes all over a freight yard with actual dynamite to simulate bombs. But that is exactly what they did.
"Lancaster revealed to the director [Bernardo Bertolucci] that so much work had been done on his face, his teeth, his body … that 'the most real thing on my face are my eyes.'"
Fine art/Burt Lancaster/Fine Art/Burt Lancaster/Fine Art/Burt Lancaster...and the best, most powerful machine ever built...the Steam Engine! and Burt Lancaster!
mistaken identity? hardly... they were supposed to disrupt nazi railroad operations in occupied France, and this soon to be pulling a nazi train locomotive, was an excellent target of opportunity...
You can watch this film again but never NOT feel the tension. Yep, the train gets stopped before it gets to Germany but a whole lot of French blood gets spilled from brave men to make it happen. You can't help but ask yourself, why would so many men chose to die and take enormous risks for valuable paintings? Are paintings the soul of France or the men who DIED for France in war to free the country, the soul of France? I read so much military history where men die for hills or a river crossing or to take or hold a town with important crossroads or railways. Lots of times you can't help but wonder when is the cost too high?
It’s a great film, but it really doesn’t stand up to much forensic examination. That level of organization achieved in a matter of hours? Really? I mean, you’d just have massive station signs big enough to cover water towers lying around, wouldn’t you?
Sorry to say but hes not saying yay hes saying fuck thise war he threw that shovel like if he was angry ive sen the move i have it one dvd eny whay my favrit scenes was the opening them and the breaking sound from thomas and friends
What kind locomotive is used in this chase and through out the movie? And is it American, English, European or French? Sorry for being rude, I'm just curious to know what is the make, model, year and nationality of this locomotive. Please leave a comment and like. Please and Thank you.
It’s probably a French locomotive, this was filmed on a decommissioned branch line in France using locomotives that were going to be scrapped anyways, if my memory serves correctly.
That one had 8 Browning 50 cal machine guns - no exploding shell. However a bullet could easily have penetrated the boiler and you can see on many actual air attacks on locomotives.
That one had 2x 20mm cannon which you can clearly see at 1: 19 But we'll say he had fired off all his 120 cannon rounds and just had machine gun ammo left eh ?
Germans had a very similar built locomotive called the P8 = DRG 38, thats because some German companies as Henschel Kassel built some of the type 230 locos for SNCF France and P8 for Germanys DRG, this is the German version of the SNCF 230: czcams.com/video/cLVl3fDIPhY/video.html

Now they stand in front of a green wall saying, "Look I'm standing on an airplane wing going 500 mph" - back then, they had to work for their pay...
Burt was a real engineman.
Probably the greatest WWII movie ever.
One of the best movies of alltime
Only veterans recognize this sound:
1:22
Thomas and friends brakes
That would be my brother matthewlexian19s brakes sound effect that will fit him

I love this movie! I still remember borrowing this from my local library as a kid and enjoying it. :3

what a great actor Burt was he could play any part you asked him to...
He did all his own stunts in the film.
1:22 That brakes sound effect was reused in Thomas & Friends from Seasons 5-12.
Hey folks no CGI or phony actors with perfect hair and capped teeth here..
"Lancaster revealed to the director [Bernardo Bertolucci] that so much work had been done on his face, his teeth, his body … that 'the most real thing on my face are my eyes.'"
Frankenheimer
Lancaster had capped teeth.
Very good movie. Too bad most people have forgotten it.
Masterpiece

Das Boot on a train or Der Zug. In the words of the late, great film critic, Roger Ebert, two thumbs up 👍👍, way up
Brilliant, a movie classic !
Best war film ever................in my opinion obviously.......others may disagree
You might be correct. Gets better every time I see it.
Love it. What a movie ! not one single CGI moment !! Sick and tired of computer craps. Let s see some real planes trains and automobiles !!
1:54 : Me when I’m stressed out, pissed off, and full of rage and when I scream
A train whistle is a heck of a stress reliever, isn’t it? 😃
@@Mason58654 it is ain’t it
John Frankenheimer is a great director
1:21 the thomas and friends brake sound is from this movie? WOW
Probably my favorite scene in my favorite black and white movie 🎥 of all time!
No laptops back then. Brilliant movie.
Terrific anti-war movie. Very under rated.
The Train was a master piece back in 1964 and still is. I bet I watch it twice a year as I have the video disk.
Best to keep the wheels turning forward but at a speed where they are not slipping.Reversing the wheels creates heat which increases slippage.
With this great cast it doesn't get any better Wolfgang Priess Jeanne Moreau
Michel Simon Papa Bull
The finest of the finest !
Incredible work!
Really great film.

And to think what the poles died for resisting against the nazis.
It’s a great film, but it really doesn’t stand up to much forensic examination.

Lancaster versus Spitfire ! Un combat d'avions !
Brilliant movie good scene Bert Lancaster great in this out running a spitfire
1:21 to 1:38, the train brake squealing sounded like in Season 5 to Season 6 of Thomas and Friends. In case you didn't noticed.
Great movie
And I LOVE the scene where the guy behind Burt Lancaster blasts the whistle our of excitement, as if to say 'Yaaay! We beat that MoFo!' :)
Sorry to say but hes not saying yay hes saying fuck thise war he threw that shovel like if he was angry ive sen the move i have it one dvd eny whay my favrit scenes was the opening them and the breaking sound from thomas and friends
Does he look joyful to you? How odd.
good film
Pesquet: No! No, Didont!
Didont: *NOT US!!! NOT US!!! NOT US!!!*
Una de las mewores peliculas bélicas que he visto en mi vida.
On that time along with other actors Burt Lancustar was 1 m dollar man a highest paid remuneration taker + a great hero....
1:21, there’s a sound that I heard before.
Still an excellent movie
1:21 *slammed on my brakes and screeched to halt*

@@MilkDrinker218 And if I am not mistaken it could had even been a three cylinder locomotive.
this and von ryan express
This one my favorite movies to watch
1:21 The Train Brakes Used In Thomas & Friends!!!!!! ;D
Stephen Fisher for real this is where the break sound was born bro
Stephen Fisher That’s the only thing you like about this scene?
At this point in his career Lancaster had the original director (Arthur Penn) FIRED after 3 days on the set. He then broughtin John Frankenheimer!
Is it true? What exactly happened?
Wouldn’t fancy turning those wheels after that
Getting a steam loco doing a light engine movement to Medux or Epernay after late July 1944 in broad daylight. Good luck with that.
The whistle sounded like a scream at the end
Thomas the tank engine brakes at 1:22
The sweet sounds of the spitfire the Luftwaffe hated
Thomas and friends borrowed the brake sound affect from this scene
Al varado Internacional películas inolvidables tiempos del cine de la época de oro
Those Spitfires had 2 x20mm cannon one pass no train!
That one had 8 Browning 50 cal machine guns - no exploding shell. However a bullet could easily have penetrated the boiler and you can see on many actual air attacks on locomotives.
That one had 2x 20mm cannon which you can clearly see at 1: 19 But we'll say he had fired off all his 120 cannon rounds and just had machine gun ammo left eh ?
chitlika You're both very close. She's a Mk.LF.IXe and she carries two 20mm Cannon and two .50 Browning machine guns :-)
You can hear the cannons popping
Jaw Dropping...
Gran pelicula. Está en Netflix.
What was that locomotives name or type?
Xenthies SNCF 230-B #517
Germans had a very similar built locomotive called the P8 = DRG 38, thats because some German companies as Henschel Kassel built some of the type 230 locos for SNCF France and P8 for Germanys DRG, this is the German version of the SNCF 230: czcams.com/video/cLVl3fDIPhY/video.html
Did anyone notice the breaking sound in that scene was used for ttte
Pesquet: This is the last job. The last one.
Hold up! Wait a minute! Those brakes sounded like the ones in thomas! 1:21
1:54 *SCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ECHOES*
Как называется фильм?
The Train 1964.
Interesting, I want the German train to win.
True sporting types always root for the underdog! :)
1:21
saving private ryn is da best movie ever
Right At 1:54 the fireman blew the whistle in victory!!! He be saying take that spitfire
that's not for a victory, but out of frustration, the clip was cut before his threw his shovel. It's like yelling back at a bully.
@@julius6889 oh
THAT’S EXTREMELY SAD 1:54
1:22
why does that sound familiar
i think it was a p47 or a p51 mustang has american markings
The plane isn’t a spitfire. It’s a typhoon.
1:22
