THE RAILWAY CHILDREN (Theatrical Release USA 1970)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.6|5.0 Starsìììì                                

The Railway Children—sweet story—does not fail to deliver on its initial promise to deliver good feelings. Good family watch that makes a good investment for the family home video library…may not serve a male audience well.
