THE TITFIELD THUNDERBOLT (COLLECTORS EDITION) (VINTAGE CLASSICS)

A comical and delightful tale of community spirit, written by celebrated Ealing regular and Academy Award Winner T.E.B. Clarke (The Lavender Hill Mob) directed by Charles Crichton (The Lavender Hill Mob). When British Railways announce the closure of the Titfield to Mallingford branch line, a group of local village residents make a bid to run it themselves, backed by a monied member of the community who is attracted by the complete lack of licensing hours on trains. Unfortunately, this puts them into direct competition with the local bus company.
