So much fun in those days to travel - or at least they made it look fun in the movies. I love looking at the travel posters too, I'm always looking for excuses to post them on my blog. :)<br /><br />I have Beryl Markham's autobiography here on my TBR pile - A definite read for this year, soon as I get into a non-fiction mood.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-86660504915926629712011-05-01T10:32:32.629-04:002011-05-01T10:32:32.629-04:00Deb: Well, you've stumped me. :) I've neve...Deb: Well, you've stumped me. :) I've never seen or heard of this film.

I, too, love trains and train travel from the first half of the 1900s. I'm also addicted to planes from the same period, although that sort of travel tended to be more solitary (think Beryl Markham, Ameliea Earhart, Antoine de Saint-Exupery). The travel posters are so evocative of romance, mystery, and adventure that I get excited just looking at them!joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-61358783871775560092011-05-01T10:29:12.242-04:002011-05-01T10:29:12.242-04:00Yvonne: You mean Hitchcock's STRANGERS ON A TR...Yvonne: You mean Hitchcock's STRANGERS ON A TRAIN with Farley Granger and Robert Walker. Yeah, I remember that. But it is not one of my faves, so I didn't list it. Too creepy for me. Although I acknowledge it is a great noir film. In MINISTRY OF FEAR, only the first fifteen or so minutes takes place on a train, but it sets the whole film in motion after Ray Milland's character has won the suspicious cake at the seemingly 'innocent' afternoon fete. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-26354720045683682632011-05-01T10:25:04.690-04:002011-05-01T10:25:04.690-04:00Kathy: All three of those movies are available on ...Kathy: All three of those movies are available on Netflix. THE MYSTERY OF THE BLUE TRAIN was a PBS Mystery show which I classify as a film - why not? David Suchet is great, as usual, as Poirot.

I loved it even more this time.<br /><br />I've written down on the TBS (To Be Seen) list "The Mystery of the Blue Train," "Union Station," and "Terror by Night."<br /><br />Yes, and in my head I travel all over the world by train on the Trans-Siberian express, the Canadian express from coast-to-coast, and across the U.S., not to mention throughout Europe, and even India and China. And I listen to friends' train adventures avidly.<br /><br />But these movies are terrific and the posters are also.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-38164095954661888572011-04-30T20:25:48.837-04:002011-04-30T20:25:48.837-04:00Jacqueline: Yes, a serendipitous find. :)Jacqueline: Yes, a serendipitous find. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-13011057063266323932011-04-30T16:18:23.085-04:002011-04-30T16:18:23.085-04:00What a swell roster of train movies (and book), Yv...What a swell roster of train movies (and book), Yvette.
