Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Carol Reed
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Criterion Collection)
Many of the same stars from Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes show up in Night Train to Munich. However, this film is pure propaganda, made in 1940 at the start of WWII. The German military is grossly stereotyped, with Hitler pounding away on maps and monocle-wearing Gestapo. There is an exciting climax on a mountain top, about the closest this film ever gets to Hitchcock.
