Borrowing its title from a classic by René Clément depicting the railroad men 's resistance fighting in WW2,(1945) this battle is a horse of a different color. "rail " here does not mean "railroad" but "line" ,to be precise "coke line" .
The hero is dealer for one night ,to help his pal who's sick .All happens in the short space of one night ,and there are pretty photos of underground Paris by night; Pierre Lottin is good as a clueless dealer but his character is a bit hollow ;sex scenes are filler.
One wishes there were more humor; "Paulette " starring Bernadette Laffont as a shameless old lady turned dealer was more fun to watch. This one is pleasant but ,although short,drags on a bit.
