Funny...I watched a Burt Lancaster movie from the Sixties called “The Train” recently (about Nazis leaving France with a train full of stolen art and loot as the allies advance, and trying to get a French train yard manager (Burt Lancaster) to cooperate with them) and I did enjoy the movie except for one thing.

They made no effort to have any of the French or German characters change their accent...soooooo...you have this French train yard being operated by Brits, guys from Brooklyn, etc.

I suspended belief to watch it, and it was pretty good except for that!

Man that's one of my favorites! One of John Frankenheimer's best, and all those train crashes were done for real.
