Review of The Last Train

I would like to echo one reviewer that the "story may seem a little far fetched". The leading man, portrayed sympathetically, abandons his pregnant wife and daughter without any very clearly developed reason other than inconvenience. Sexual activity occurs under extremely stressful and public conditions in a boxcar. This unlikely behavior does not ring true. My wife, a psychiatrist, agrees with my estimate, and feels these scenes may have been injected for obvious reasons to put over the film (or book if in the original story). Another element that strains credibility is at the end, where the main characters, stoic through so much, are inexplicably unable to conceal their mutual recognition in front of the police inspector, thus implying their doom.
