Frankenheimer struck back with two successive Lancaster vehicles, the political thriller Seven Days in May (1964) and the WWII action adventure The Train (1965). Both films showcased Frankenheimer's enviable technological prowess -- made especially evident in the black-and-white photography of Seven Days in May -- and further established him as one of his profession's most promising young talents, particularly in the arena of the political/psychological thriller.

De hecho, el siguiente proyecto de Frankenheimer El hombre de Alcatraz es producto de la insistencia de Lancaster. El actor, también productor, empieza el proyecto en 1961 con otro director pero despide y pide a Frankenheimer que se haga cargo del rodaje.
