   In the 1974 original Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, a number of scenes   
   take place on board a subway car.   
      
   In movie making, existing lighting is usually far too dim for movie   
   film and is normally augmented by high powered movie lights.  But   
   the narrow subway car precluded using such lights, at least I would   
   think.  In the flim, the lighting does look very natural, as with   
   the slight green tint from the fluorescent lights, and the darkness   
   when they were on battery power (that _had_ to be augmented).   
      
   As an aside, the movie showed the Command Center.  The movie prop   
   radio console was very close in appearance to the real thing.   
   However, the Command Center itself was not--the movie one was more   
   attractive and the one in real life, which was very cramped.
