REVIEWS

“Carol Reed's Night Train to Munich is a twisting, turning, cloak-and-dagger delight, combining comedy, romance, and thrills with the greatest of ease. Paced like an out-of-control locomotive, Night Train takes viewers on a journey from Prague to England to the Swiss Alps as Nazis pursue a Czech scientist and his daughter (Margaret Lockwood) who are being aided by a debonair British undercover agent, played by Rex Harrison. This captivating, long-overlooked adventure – which features Paul Henreid and a clever screenplay by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat, best known for writing Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes – is a deftly concocted spy game that could give the Master of Suspense a run for his money."

– Criterion

“Director Carol Reed was no stranger to superb, edge-of-your-seat entertainments, and he supplies all the elements here in one of his earliest, comparatively lesser-known outings."

– American Cinematheque
