ntpntpntp Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Might be more useful actually to mention the name of the film in the thread title :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Can't wait to see the film - it's been ages since I last saw it.Experience that Sid James laugh as well - he's in it isn't he? !!See the 14xx going down the High Street as well.Al.

Rana Temporia Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I am supposed the rude word filter didn’t stop this thread. It’s stopped some of mine for less grinning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engine shed 1 Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 That's because it's the name of the film and it's well known about the film may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CORKY. Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 See the 14xx going down the High Street as well.I seem to remember, if you look closely through the pretend loco wheels, you can see the rubber tyres of the road vehicle, and yes I will probably watch it again, especially as there is no F1 for months.

atom3624 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I thought this thread would be alight with comments!Just saw the film - recorded. I'm thinking it was the 4th time in my lifetime I've seen it.How to kill 2x 14xx 0-4-2 tank engines - shame really.Humour still 'understandable' today and very entertaining.Al.

P-Henny Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I was specifically looking out for the rubber tyred wheels. And yes, when the camera angle briefly changes from a side view to a distant rear view. The inner wheels and the clear gap between the outer metal wheels and the road surface are clearly visible. This is where the 'pause' live transmission in many modern TVs comes into its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Although I have seen it since, I remember my mother taking me to see the film in 1953 at the Odeon Cinema in Muswell Hill, London N10 - I think the cinema might still be there?

81F Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 The high street that was used was in Woodstock, Oxfordshire which hasn't changed very much. except for a few white lines to mark out parking places. Apparently the sequence was actually shot during the day and made to look like nighttime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat1707821625 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 A lot of old films were shot in daylight with a blue filter on the camera lens to make it look like night, for example the old Hammer horror films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
