Well really what can you expect from the good old guys from Ealing comedy? A lovely gentle and decent comedy that will actually make you care about the characters. Starring Stanley Holloway and lovely mild mannered John Gregson who I think is brilliant in 'Genevieve' this film follows the dedicated residents of Titfield who, after hearing that British rail is closing their beloved railway they decide to buy it and run it themselves. Of course there are obstacles from the other side who are determined to stop this outrage but this small group of determined and dedicated people makes it their sole mission to get the railway up and running again. A light and good-natured comedy that could be watched with the entire family which rarely happens these days and with a great cast ( most of the staples of the other Ealing films are present here).
