I hope this movie is NEVER remade.

@LycoValleyRRFan Me too! I would be terrible...

[LycoValleyRRFan]

@stumpytrain Thank for uploading this where did you get this? Nice to see the crash and bombing in color.

@LycoValleyRRFan Somehow I stumbled across a French magazine / DVD on the internet called "La Passion Des Trains" subtitled "La collection des images du patrimoine SNCF en DVD - 33 Le Train Fair Son Cinema". Considering I can't read French I was very pleased with myself that I managed to order a copy!

At 4:08 The steam engine that is derailed is in exposition at a train museum near my house :D

@tomtomica2 You live in Acquigny? Amazing, I've been meaning to explore the locations used in The Train for too long!

Directed by John Frankenheimer and Bernard Farel, this movie show to the viewer a romanesque depiction of real life events and its interpretation reunite British, American and French actors.

Specially for the release of the movie, a special train brought on the filming locations members of the press and all those who, one way or another, participated in the making of the movie.

Popular actor Michel Simon kindly answered some questions and gave his impressions to the journalist :

I took the translations posted & attempted to locate them at the correct times within the film. I do not speak French, so I would like confirmation that they are in the correct places. I will send an RTF file to anyone who wants it for confirming. When confirmed, I will make another video with an English translation narration track overlaid on the original one. In the RTF file, the items identified with an ?? are ones that I am particularly uncertain of or that seem to be missing a translation.

interesting to see clips of this great film in color...but the black and white movie is just perfection.

@stumpytrain Imagine U571 transferred to a railroad setting. The mere thought makes my blood run cold...!

If you still want the translation, check the comments below and you'll find it !

Here’s your translation ! I hope there aren’t too many mistakes… If you know how to put subtitles into a video, feel free to do so. Good luck !

1944, somewhere in occupied France. No ! We are in 1964, on the filming locations of the movie “The Train”.

TheTrain : this title alone make us guess that the railway is the main location for the action. And a train is effectively the star of the movie, with stations, rail depot and rail tracks being the genuine locations.

“I had the first’s emotions of my childhood aboard a locomotive. My uncle, a Savoyard (Savoie is a region in the Alps, near Switzerland and Italy) was a train conductor, and when he had to retire for being too old, he asked for the job of conductor of a small train going up to Mont Revard, a small funicular, and sometimes, he let me drive it. That’s why I accepted with enthusiasm the role of a mechanic, allowing me to live for several weeks in places that reminded me of my youth.”
