Yeah, I never understood that. Maybe someone on here does. Is it just to record dialogue clearly on a soundstage instead of on location?

Are those rear projection shots? If so, why? #BerlinExpress #TCMParty

Yes, Berlin is a bombed-out hell hole, but the guys from Glengarry Glen Ross could have moved those properties in no time.

That shifty Frenchman! I knew it! #BerlinExpress #TCMParty

If that guy had fallen off the back of the train, he could have filed a claim with Pacific All Risk.

#BerlinExpress has better cinematography than it deserves. #TCMParty

"I didn't say you were attractive. I said you weren't bad looking."
- quite a charmer.

Hey, he snagged Merle away from Sir Alexander Korda while they were shooting The Lodger! #BerlinExpress #TCMParty

He's dishy, too. #BerlinExpress #TCMParty

Cinematographer Lucien Ballard and his wife Merle Oberon in the late 1940s.

Ballard was also married to #BerlinExpress star Merle Oberon, for whom he invented a special camera light called an "Obie" to smooth out the facial scarring from her auto accident. Versions of the light are still in use today. #TCMParty

I recall #BerlinExpress being a bit ponderous, but it does have cinematography by the great Lucien Ballard, best known for his groundbreaking work on the westerns of Budd Boetticher and Sam Peckinpah. But in the ‘50s, he shot a lot of great noirs, including The Killing and City of Fear. #TCMParty

I've said this numerous times before but Merle Oberon was my father's movie crush. #BerlinExpress #TCMParty

SHADDAP! #BerlinExpress #TCMParty

It's our boy Charles McGraw!

Charles McGraw! #BerlinExpress #TCMParty

I love those “Paternoster” elevators in the IG Farben complex. OSHA would absolutely have a fit. #BerlinExpress #TCMParty

I keep running to Wikipedia to see if he's Maximillian Schell.
He's not.

Rear projection rubble. #BerlinExpress #TCMParty

i.e. If Terrence Malick is involved, it's fine. 😉

I agree. In his films, it works, because Malick knows how to use it.

Charles Korvin is kinda dishy. #BerlinExpress #TCMParty

This movie has quite the cast.
