The Railway Children (1970)
Country: GB
Technical: col 108m
Director: Lionel Jeffries
Cast: Dinah Sheridan, William Mervyn, Jenny Agutter, Bernard Cribbins
Synopsis:
A family becomes economically exiled to Yorkshire when the father is imprisoned for treason, but their special relationship with the local branch line yields a wealth of dramatic incident that brings unexpected resolution.
Review:
Sentimentally educational and hugely popular period charmer, doubtless helped by generous footage of railways as they used to be. Like all the best children's films it has something to offer grown-ups too, though its chief asset lies in the winning performances of its young principals, led by the radiant and angelically voiced Jenny Agutter.
