A British spy (Rex Harrison) must get a important Czech scientist (James Harcourt) and his daughter (Margaret Lockwood) out of Germany before World War II starts.
Night Train to Munich is a completely charming film, reminiscent of The Lady Vanishes. Honestly, it's surprising that Hitchcock didn't direct this.
Rex Harrison and Margaret Lockwood are great, and Paul Henreid is good as the Gestapo agent. However, the film is completely stolen by Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne, reprising their roles as Charters and Caldicott from The Lady Vanishes.
The film is well directed by Carol Reed, and there's some nice model work. There's an excellent shootout at the end as well.
Rewatch. 4/5
