Dec 31st   
Night Train to Paris    
(GB 1964)
Twentieth Century Fox. 65m. bw

A travel agent with combat experience becomes embroiled in a spy plot to transport an important tape across the Channel on New Year's Eve.
Mundane but efficient Bond/Hitchcock take-off comedy thriller which dates itself badly, but of historical interest for its star in a 'straight' role, and for its extensive use of the Dover Night Ferry.

w: Henry Cross
p: Robert L. Lippert, Jack Parsons
d: Robert Douglas
s: Leslie Nielsen, Aliza Gur, Eric Pohlmann, Cyril Raymond, Dorinda Stevens, Hugh Latimer, Andre Maranne
ph: Arthur Lavis
m: Kenny Graham

NIGHT TRAIN TO PARIS. Leslie Nielsen in his days before his goofiness came to the fore. Aliza Gur provides the decoration for this 1960s thriller of its time
