It would have been a little early for that, wouldn't it? If I recall correctly, they didn't even have the idea for the TGV until the 60's. Of course, it could have been an aerodynamically-styled train unrelated to the TGV. Maybe Patrick knows.I thought some of the scenes were pretty powerful, like when Lantier tries to strangle the girl (name?) by the railroad tracks. But there's something overall that keeps it from being a "masterpiece" - maybe your right, it's the story. It was the first time I've seen it, so I haven't had much of a chance to think about it.
