I was lucky enough to see The Train starring Burt Lancaster over the holiday period. Had not seen it for many years. Felt like I was right in there shoveling coal |

cynical - we watched The Train, too. A very well made movie. Glad it was shot in black & white... made it real "gritty". |

Nells: I agree about the "gritty". You could almost feel the cinders hitting you in the face and then there were the machinations just to keep the steam engine running (i.e., turning valves, pulling chains, checking gauges, shoveling coal, etc.). No question - "well made". |

I don't want to be picky, but those 2 Irish stamps show trams, not trains. They commemorate the introduction of the LUAS tram system in Dublin. |

Nope, the blue screen technique of filming actors doing something, then using other footage later behind them to make it look like, say, they are really driving a car in the Swiss Alps... when they are really in a Hollywood sound stage. |
