'Madonna of the Sleeping Cars' (French: 'La madone des sleepings') is a 1955 French drama film directed by Henri Diamant-Berger and starring Giselle Pascal, Jean Gaven and Erich von Stroheim. The film is an adaptation of the 1925 novel of the same title by Maurice Dekobra, though the plot has been changed somewhat, and the action brought into the 1950s and set in Latin America rather than the Black Sea coast of the USSR.Goble p.121

It was shot at the Victorine Studios in Nice, with sets designed by the art director Eugne Pirac. Location shooting took place in Paris and elsewhere.
