The Night Train to Idiotville
3 December 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Night Train to Paris (1964) is a bit short on the thrills or intrigue, in fact, it really has neither. The director was more interested in filling up the time with useless 60's music and boring drunks. Aliza Gur is dull as an actress. Leslie Nielsen exhibits no tough rawness as he does in television, like in Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1958-1961), Thriller (1960) or Kraft Suspense Theatre (1963-1965).

He wears plastic black horn-rimmed glasses with attached eyebrows, large plastic nose, bushy moustache as a disguise. Yeah, stupid.

For train buffs, it has a train ferry (a ship or ferry designed to carry railway vehicles). It was probably the Dover to Dunkirk line, from Britain. (It stopped in 1992 due to the opening of the Channel Tunnel).

There's some cool jazz music, and the intro is a nice assemblage, but that's it.
