A girl travelling on a trans-European express strikes a friendly acquaintance with a middle-aged tweedy woman who promptly disappears. When everyone on the train denies ever having seen the lady the plot thickens, but what is brilliant is how the script resolves this and other conundrums. Superb.

THE RAILWAY CHILDREN/SWALLOWS AND AMAZONS (1970)
Certification12 Our Rating
The Railway Children; an affectionate adaptation of the great children's novel capturing the innocence of childhood and the comfy certainties of a bygone era. Not that their world is boring, they meet a wry bunch of characters, save a train from derailment and harbour a Bolshevik refugee etc. A high nostalgia count.
