Description:Alan Holiday (Leslie Nielsen), who used to be in army intelligence, is contacted by Jules, an old army buddy who asks his help in getting a "tape" to the authorities in Paris. This tape was apparently stolen, and it's very valuable because "it has enough memory to contain the entire Bible." So far as I caught, that's all we were told about the tape. Jules was working with Catherine, a fellow spy. They all plan on meeting on the night trail to Paris (one that is shuttled onto a ferryboat and carried across the channel) disguised as a photographer and his models (two other girls were in the party). Anyway, Jules is murdered and Alan has to take the train. He's pursued by the police and the guy who murdered Jules. The tape exchanges hands several times, and in the end Catherine turns out to be one of the bad guys. But another of the models is a good guy and contacts the police who arrive in time to prevent Catherine from killing Alan. He gives the tape to this girl and ... that's pretty much it.
My Rating:5

Review - Night Train to Paris

Leslie Nielsen supposedly played this one straight, although it constantly seemed like he was going to do one of his funny bits from his later movies. At one point, he hides from the hit man by putting on funny nose glasses. The plot was way too complicated for its 70-minute running time.
