A DVD review from The Movie Snob.
Night Train to Munich (B). A light-hearted thriller in the vein of The Lady Vanishes, this 1940 release was directed by Carol Reed, who would later direct the classic The Third Man. After an opening montage showing the Nazi advance across Europe before the invasion of Poland, we see an important Czech scientist get whisked away to England just ahead of the Nazi occupation of his home country. Once in England, the scientist is joined by his spirited daughter Anna (Margaret Lockwood, The Lady Vanishes), but then both are kidnaped by the Nazis and it’s up to wise-cracking British agent Gus Bennett (Rex Harrison, My Fair Lady) to pull off a daring solo rescue mission. Paul Henreid, who later played an anti-Nazi freedom fighter in Casablanca, plays against type as a Nazi true believer. Although the movie is not without flaws, I still quite enjoyed it.
