La Bête Humaine (English: The Human Beast and Judas Was a Woman) is a 1938 French film directed by Jean Renoir, with cinematography by Curt Courant. The picture features Jean Gabin and Simone Simon, and is loosely based on the 1890 novel La Bête humaine by Émile Zola. This is a compilation of the steam engine shots.

La Bête Humaine is partially set on a train that may be thought of as one of the main characters in the film.

    Perhaps the most authentic representation of an engineer and fireman ever filmed. The film is magnificent. Gabin my preferred french actor of the 1930's.

    Produced the year the French National Railways (SNCF) was formed. Old regional lines such as Paris-Lyons et Midi and in this film L'État were still in operation. Perfect and fascinating glimpse into the historic French system prior to occupation and the removal of most of the track after the war
  • You can see where John Frankenheimer got his inspiration for his 1963 move "The Train"..

    Great shot of them taking water on the fly! Excellent all the way thru!
  • Beautiful pictures of coal, steam and the power of steam locomotives. Remainds me back to my childhood in the 60s when most of the traffic was done with steam engines.
  • What a picture of the French railways! Engines, yards, roundhouse, bridges, tunnels, smoke, steam and speed! All location, all real. Those big Pacifics were beasts. They don't whistle, they shriek.This is the sinews of the industrial age. Nobody else ever captured it like this.
  • Even less than 100 years,, we can feel the development of technics throungh the film. I also remember having triip the same type of train when I was little child in South Korea 1960's. Now we have TGV like France... What a wonderful times of life!!!
  • Wonderful, We took the SS United States, NYC to Harve. July ..1966, the boat train took us into Paris,pulled by a beautiful Pacific steamer, freshly painted in green...
