Movie #1606: Man On The Tracks (1957, Andzej Munk)
Superior drama of an enquiry into the death of a railroad engineer run over on the tracks. Gritty black & white drama with fine performances all around with the added bonus of a lot of great looking steam locomotives.
Just one concern: at the end one member of the enquiry board says he has proof of what really happened. Why didn't he speak up at the start of the movie?
And another thing: the man under suspicion sports an Adolph Hitler moustache. Was this done on purpose to show how people can be swayed by appearances?
