SLEEPING CAR TO TRIESTE is a post-war thriller set on board a train in which various spies and interested political parties attempt to get their hands on a precious stolen diary. After a slow first hour which is all set-up, the story gets quite interesting and throws some thrillery-type thrills into the mix. The cast isn't bad, including the familiar likes of Hugh Burden, David Tomlinson, and Finlay Currie in the mix, and things build to an effective 'who's the bad guy?' twist climax. It's not one of the most exciting films ever made, but it does the job well enough.
