Title: A little bit too saccharine
Review: Another highly thought-of 'must see' classic, a 1970s film depicting bourgeois Edwardian life. Amost too good to be true, everyone is always immaculately attired and has perfect manners, and interiors are spotless - unbelievable, isn't it? A simple story of perfect children, with a perfect mother and a slightly less than perfect father who goes to jail - uprooted from their perfect London town house with its' maids and opulent interiors - to end up in a small Yorkshire village in a simple country cottage (although having seen Panorama on TV the previous evening, about people losing their homes in London - most of us would nowadays give their eye teeth to live in aforementioned country cottage - with or without electricity and running water), the story revolves around the little station and the comings and goings of the trains and the part they play in the childrens' lives. Old fashioned, heartwarming, a fairy tale from another era.
