• Did you spot the bullet train there? - Victor Khomenko 06:53:59 02/24/03 (10)

  Towards the end there was something sitting on the tracks that looked very much like an early bullet train - sleek shape, white, with sloping front and aerodynamic looks

  I am really wondering what that was.

    It would have been a little early for that, wouldn't it? If I recall correctly, they didn't even have the idea for the TGV until the 60's. Of course, it could have been an aerodynamically-styled train unrelated to the TGV. Maybe Patrick knows.

    I thought some of the scenes were pretty powerful, like when Lantier tries to strangle the girl (name?) by the railroad tracks. But there's something overall that keeps it from being a "masterpiece" - maybe your right, it's the story. It was the first time I've seen it, so I haven't had much of a chance to think about it.

      Yes, I of course realize this was during the time when they had steam engines... and this is what made it so strange. It sure looked like an aerodynamically shaped engine, with windows on the sloping front. It was pretty low and wide, something that looked completely out of place in 1938.

      Wondering if anyone had a tape or a DVD of that film and could look?

        to see what Patrick comes up with. I found this picture of a German train circa 1935, "The Flying Hamburger". So streamlined trains like this were around then.

          The shape is still slightly different, but definitely that flavor.

          Was this an electric train?
