Good movie, Burt is so great in everything, those hostages getting shot stuck with me, just thought it was disturbing, one of my earliest memories of a theater experience was Bridge on the River Kwai, I remember leaning my head out in the aisle because I couldn’t see over who was sitting in front of me, but I remember the train falling into the river, those movie posters you showed are amazing, true art , thanks
Hi Joe, great video today! I haven't seen this movie but it is definitely going to be on my list this week. My husband and I love Burt Lancaster movies . Lately we have been fixated on old 70's TV movies. We found that on RUclips they have many of the old ABC Sunday Night at the Movies, complete with the old time commercials. They really take you back in time and give the whole 70's tv experience. We have been enjoying them so much. Lately Its all I want to watch in the evenings. Tony said he felt his blood pressure drop several notches the moment he heard the ABC Sunday Night Movie theme song, because it instantly took him back to a slower place in time. :). I also love the Lady Vanishes, great movie. And Hard Days Night, sure brings back the memories. I first saw that in a drive in when I was a very little girl. I was hopelessly in crush with Ringo. Sigh! I too enjoy trains very much. Being from California originally, I never had the chance to ride on a train until my Grandfather took me to Knott's Berry Farm. Grandpa had once been a foreman on a railroad back in the early 1920's. He really loved trains. We rode the one at Knott's around the park several times that day, raising our hands up every time the bandits came on board with their cap pistols blazing! :). Tony and I also had the opportunity to live for a year in Rhinefelden, Switzerland, in 1997. He was sent there on a job assignment. We rode the trains all over Switzerland. The train station or "Bahnhoff" in Basil near where we lived looked very much like the picture you showed of Penn Station. We also rode the train all the way from Switzerland to Florence Italy and then on to Venice. From our base in Switzerland we were sent for a two week assignment to London, England. We stayed in a little nearby town called Kingston Upon the Thames. It was my first time ever riding a subway or "tube" as they call it. Then one day we rode the train across England from Victoria Station to the Satellite Ground Station on the Cornwall Coast. A little side note, my husband still keeps my London train pass in his wallet to this day because he says he likes the picture and it reminds him of our trip. We are sentimental that way. :) My train riding experiences were really beautiful and I was able to see many things I would never have been able to had we driven by car. Thanks again Joe for another video, as always I enjoy them very much.
Thanks Delisa. A Burt Lancaster film you might like is the spy thriller "SCORPIO" which also stars Paul Scofield again with Burt AND Alain Delon. It's not great but the actors are. Plus it's an early seventies film.
Frankenheimer!! Great director. Great movie.
Yes. The Manchurian Candidate, Seven Days In My, Ronin
Burt Lancaster was probably one of the best actors of the 20th century, IMHO. This film is absolutely fantastic, from start to finish.
Been a big Burt fan ever since seeing The Crimson Pirate when I was a kid. Never been the same since.

Kwai, I remember leaning my head out in the aisle because I couldn’t see over who was sitting in front of me, but I remember the train falling into the river, those movie posters you showed are amazing, true art , thanks
Thanks for watching

The Lady Vanishes - yes!

Trains..
Once upon a time in the west..
Lawrence of Arabia..
My train favorites ..
Thanx for the review 🚂
You're welcome. Come to think of it one could add many movies to a train list.
Been on my Prime Video watchlist for about 2 weeks. Didn't realise that Frankenheimer was the director. Von Ryan's Express - meh.
You're right about Von Ryan's Express.
