As days turn into weeks, the odds of them being rescued seem increasingly slim. The passengers soon realize that they are not only stranded in the middle of nowhere but also stranded with their own thoughts, fears, and secrets. In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "average", writing: "Prototype disater film has its moments." [20] Of course that then leads to an issue - it is not possible to enforce break of journey restrictions where part of the journey involves an interchange between railway stations (as for example between London Terminals). Does that matter? I would say not. As in most later disaster film the characters are mixed bunch,I can't say they a believeable mix but we must remember that at this time foreign travel was not common for ordinary people.

When my parents died,” He begins, his brows furrowing ever so slightly. “When they died, there were no one else. I ended up in foster care, and got bounced around from one house, to another, to another. I adapted to suit everyone’s whims, only to be needed. If they want me to be loud, then I’m loud. If they want me to keep my head down and stay quiet, then that’s what I’ll do.” Because I was quiet, or maybe too adaptable, I don’t know… none of the kids or the adults liked me, maybe except for one. They’d do anything they can to keep me away. They’d beat me up, put me down, say many things to the point that they don’t hurt anymore, and leave me in isolation. At first, I wished that I’d just die and be gone for good… but after a while, I just couldn’t feel anything anymore.” I am a big fan of old British films,and films featuring forms of transport so I like seeing this one.

Dunno, just really tired,” He mumbles out as his breathing slows down. He looks over to the others, battered and beaten, but so, so alive. “…Sorry.” Quinlan, David (1984). British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959. London: B.T. Batsford Ltd. p. 196. ISBN 0-7134-1874-5.Steven H. Scheuer in Movies on TV, 1986–87 noted that the film was "tense, well acted melodrama." [19] That may be part of the problem. John Wayne's "Island in the Sky" had a similar plot, with an airplane down in the frozen woods of Canada, but the survivors looked uncomfortable, dazed, and on the verge of despair. No,” He shakes his head, eyes casting downward again. He chews the inside of his mouth a little before he speaks up, much quieter. His voice is slightly broken. “…I want to be needed. After summoning my Persona, I realize that fighting Shadows is something I can do really well. I did what I was told because—” Wilson makes his observation over lunch with Payne in his local pub. Their conversation is one of countless enlightening discussions in the book, which take place amid various levels of Covid restrictions in art galleries, pubs, cafes and community centres. Payne’s passion and personal engagement with his subject seems to charm many of his interviewees into opening up in fascinating ways. Labour’s crisis in the red wall, and the party’s attempts to resolve it, will shape the future of English politics. This engrossing, warm and insightful work is an indispensable guide to how it came about.

You can talk to me, if you want to,” She offers quietly, still keeping her eyes on him. “I know I’m not the best person for this, but… I guess you could use an ear or two.” a b c d Spicer, Andrew.

She feels a lump forming in her throat, unsure of what to say. In the end, she chooses not to – he’s opening up, to her, and it’s not her place to comment on anything. The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This is a sentimental yet well-constructed film, each little tale being carefully co-ordinated, and each bit of life neatly dovetailed. There are moments of great beauty, such as when Romer recites a poem as a funeral oration over John's grave. This is poignant and gripping in the extreme. The mountain scenes are obviously accurate – they were taken in Haute-Savoie – and the photography is clear and good. The competent cast play intelligently. [18]
