Berlin Express is a 1948 American drama film starring Merle Oberon, Robert Ryan, Charles Korvin, and Paul Lukas, and directed by Jacques Tourneur.
Thrown together by chance, a group of people search post-World War II Frankfurt for a kidnapped German peace activist. Set in Allied-occupied Germany, it was shot on location in Frankfurt (with exterior and interior shots of the IG Farben Building and its paternoster elevators) and Berlin. One of a small handful of American-made Trümmerfilms (rubble films), it features a full-screen notice during the opening credits reading: "Actual scenes in Frankfurt and Berlin were photographed by authorization of the United States Army of Occupation, the British Army of Occupation, and the Soviet Army of Occupation."
