Berlin Express is a 1948 American drama film starring Robert Ryan, Merle Oberon and Paul Lukas and directed by Jacques Tourneur.

A German who identifies himself as Dr. Heinrich Bernhardt, a prominent diplomat working to restore a peaceful Germany, tries to become better acquainted with the other passengers, but they all rebuff his overtures because of his nationality.

Lucienne suggests they find Walther, unaware that he has betrayed Bernhardt in order to secure his detained wife's return.

When Lindley and Lucienne question the American soldier who had been with the woman beforehand, Sergeant Barnes, he reluctantly agrees to lead them to her home.

Seeing them depart Bernhardt wonders if there can be cooperation between nations, and after despairing observes the camaraderie between the once fractious British, American, and Russian men as they say their goodbyes.

According to Eddie Muller, a Turner Classic Movies host, Merle Oberon insisted on Lucien Ballard, her husband, being the cinematographer because he had developed techniques to hide the scars she had as a result of a car accident.

The staff at Variety magazine gave the film a positive review, and wrote, "[The m]ost striking feature of this production is its extraordinary background of war-ravaged Germany.

It makes awesome and exciting cinema...Ryan establishes himself as a first-rate actor in this film, demonstrating conclusively that his brilliant performance in Crossfire was no one-shot affair."

"[3] In The New York Times, A. H. Weiler had a similar response, stating the film's photography of the post-war landscape creates a "realistic, awesome and impressive vista".
