Not a 'dining car'


I saw a theatrical showing of this film two days ago (i.e., on March 22, 2009), in a good-condition print, with English subtitles that perhaps dated from the film's 1988 American premiere. While the author of the subtitles did a good job in general, one minor annoyance was that he or she had the characters speaking about going to the "dining car" of a train they were riding on when the car in question was clearly a cafe car. It had a food service counter with employees behind it on one side of the aisle, and several stools and a small counter for eating on the other side. It did not have tables set up for waitstaff service, which is the defining setup of a real dining car.
