great dialogue. i just wish i could have heard and understood more of it. the delivery was super fast and the volume wasn't high enough, even with an amplifier! the general's (lorre's) death at the end was ridiculously contrived. he places a loaded gun in front of the german spy, robert young, whose throat he's about to cut, who very obligingly grabs it and shoots lorre, who evidently dies, as young, no doubt, also expires soon after under the rubble of the bombed train. and was it really credible that the englishman's dog, the man mistaken for the german spy, and who is wrongly murdered because of it, should have telepathic perception of the danger its owner was in, and should have howled in perfect synchronicity with his fall off of the mountain, pushed by the general, lorre? clever, witty filmmaking, or obvious contrivance? nevertheless, gielgud & lorre were superb together, and the rest of the acting was top notch.
