THE EXECUTIONER

GB

Dir: Sam Wanamaker
Starring: George Peppard and Joan Collins

A British Intelligence Agent must track down a fellow spy suspected of being a double agent

This solid espionage thriller has a hugely impressive cast, and is a worthy addition to the genre. It has a scene filmed outside Elstree & Borehamwood station, standing in for Modling, Austria. Plenty of trains can be heard, and a Class 45 rushes through on a short train of vans, but as it is lit only by the platform lighting it is difficult to make much out. The same goes for the Class 127 DMU that arrives shortly after on a stopping service.

This is the main station building at Elstree & Borehamwood, with the platforms over to the left. The German graffiti translates as ‘Americans out of Vietnam’.
