The Railroad Man Limited Edition Blu-Ray

Pietro Germi (The Facts of Murder) directs and stars in this deeply moving drama about a train driver. Andrea Marcocci lives a modest life with his wife Sara (Luisa Della Noce), but his life is turned upside down when he witnesses a suicide on the tracks in front of him. The incident is tenderly recounted from the perspective of his young son Sandro (Edoardo Nevola) and has repercussions for Andrea and his extended family—including his unemployed son Marcello (Renato Speziali) and pregnant daughter Giulia (Sylva Koscina)—whom he is expected to support. The Railroad Man was a huge success when it was released, with a tough, muscular performance by Germi at its center, and should be placed alongside films such as Bicycle Thieves and La terra trema in the pantheon of great neorealist classics.
