possibly this?
Plot: Endless Night (1972)
hello im new to the forum and am a great fan of 60s British films.I wonder if anyone can help, I seem to recall watchibg a film on bbc1 about 30 years ago,it was a thriller and my memory seemed to think that it starred Hywel Bennett but I may be wrong about that,it was about a man with a past as a drug addict and one of the final scenes was this man and his wife going on a train on their honeymoon and a syringe dropping out of his luggage, I have checked Bennetts filmography and it doesnt appear there.the train footage is of two diesels locos of the warship class double headed which would date it c 1968/9...all help gratefully received.

sadly not endless night as I have that on dvd, its been bugging me for years!
I wonder whether it's Fragment of Fear from 1970 which starred David Hemmings and Gayle Hunnicutt? David Hemmings plays a reformed drug addict
I think Joe is right in that it's Fragment of fear.
The final scenes take place on a train, the loco I believe is a warship class.
Have a look at these screens of the final scenes, starting with a shot of the train they are aboard:
You are correct it is a warshipOriginally Posted by marty

you found it! excellent,thanks to all,much appreciated
It definitely is that film, but no syringes fall out of his luggage to my knowledge. However, a thug (Derek Newark) beats him up in a street and then places one in his hand to frame him and discredit his story. Or does he.......?
I was amazed and delighted to see Made come out recently (similar era, obscurity and acting pedigree). I know you can get this on import (no idea how good it looks though), but it would be terrific if Fragment of Fear finally came out properly here now.
The Sony USA DVD of Fragment of Fear is region free according to the DVD Compare site.
