The story concerns two escaped convicts and a female railroad worker who are stuck on a runaway train as it barrels through snowy desolate Alaska. Voight and Roberts were both nominated for Academy Awards for their respective roles.

I always think of this as a 'hidden' Akira Kurosawa classic. An excellent film, and one I've seen several times, but have yet to get a copy.

Good combo humour from the 2 main stars. Action scenes are superb too. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9b2370bfde.jpg

Saw it at the cinema - for some reason I didn't enjoy it. But then it's a Coen Brothers film, which I always find to be quirky: I love some of their films, whereas others leave me cold. The two brothers alternate between directing and producing. I have yet to work out if the films I like have the brothers operating in consistent activities.

From Here To Eternity 1953. Stars Bury Lancaster, Frank Sinatra, Montgomery Clift, Ernest Borgnine, Deborah Kerr and the lovely Donna Reed..
Directed by Fred Zinnemann. Won 8 academy awards, and nominated for 13.
