Stroe Atanasiu

This earliest surviving Romanian horror-thriller is distinctly un-Romanian in several ways: an adaptation of Arnold Ridley’s play of the same name (best known through its 1941 film version starring Arthur Askey), TRENUL FANTOMĂ was shot in Hungary as an alternate-language version of KÍSÉRTETEK VONATA (1933), with both films using footage taken from the 1931 British movie adaptation.

Over at the fictional DRGBP institution, events take a settling turn after a mutinied prize festivity.

Simultaneously filmed Romanian language version of Marie, Legende Hongroise: a peasant girl is cast out of her society after a man,who really loves the daughter of her employer, gets her pregnant.
