Caught on a Train



An overnight train trip through Europe becomes a profoundly unsettling odyssey for a young English businessman. Peter (Michael Kitchen) boards the Ostend-Vienna express on his way to an important meeting and is delighted to meet a potential companion, a free-spirited young American (Wendy Raebeck) traveling alone. Already crowded, their compartment is overrun by the arrival of an imperious Viennese dowager, Frau Messner (Dame Peggy Ashcroft). This vestige of Old Europe becomes Peter's nemesis, by turns infuriating and fascinating him, while his relationship with the young American takes an unexpected course.
