Having worked on European Trains for a year, let me say that this film is extremely true to life. As for Peggy Ashcroft, she does an outstanding job playing a German Lady, (perhaps from Old Berlin). I say outstanding because I believe in fact that she is English. Michael Kitchen is a breath of fresh air. I'd assumed that Christopher Foyle was a result of years of experience but it seems that Michael Kitchen was gifted to be a major talent from a very young age. The American Girl, Wendy Raebeck, leaves the film a bit too early for my taste. However she is quite realistic with her disdain for everything European. If you've ever ridden any train, even here in No America, you will immediately identify with these folks in the film. Now I'm always apprehensive whenever the critics promote a film as a "must see." However in this case the "must see" is right on. While all the trains I worked on were a bit more civilized than the one in the film I must recommend that you purchase your ticket including "Essenskarte" (meal ticket), asap. The train is just ready to depart. I Cr 13:8a, Love never fails !
