Rome Express on DVD

Like any good train murder mystery, there is an assortment of interesting characters, each seemingly with something to hide an American movie star, illicit lovers, a golfing aficionado, there's even a Hercules Poirot-type French police inspector. But perhaps the most tantalizing characters are Hardwicke and his assistant, who share a strange love-hate relationship. Yet it is Veidt who is the most mysterious, playing a suave yet sinister fellow who boards the Rome Express on the trail of a priceless Van Dyck painting, recently swiped from a Paris gallery. Solid script, great performances. 35mm.
