What I usually do with these films is pay more attention to the background rather then the silly trains themselves. There's lots of cool shots here, I do like those older buildings in the beginning of the film justified with the older train, there's some great looking one sheet movie posters there too. I was really thrown for a loop when modern looking subway cars were shown later on in the film... this is 1964? Or later?
