MISLEADING

By a customer from London , 11 Aug 2008

[Highly rated reviewer]

The DVD for this documentary arrives and you're led to believe that the running time is around 2 hours. So, you settle back for a enjoyable trip back to the early 1960s. And yes, the documentary is very, very good and gives you a fascinating insight into that long-gone world. However, it's only about 35 minutes long!!! The rest of the DVD is padded out with dry documentary features that would only be of interest to real railway buffs. So, good if you want to watch Terminus but beware of the DVDs misleading labelling!

A LOVELY DOCUMENT OF 1960s EVERYDAY IFE

By a customer from London , 10 Apr 2008

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

Taking place over one day, this film documents to comings and goings at London's Waterloo Station. Just some of the people we see are those bustling to work, soldiers on leave greeting their wives, schoolboys going back to school, guests waving off newlyweds, a coffin being loaded onto the train for its final journey and prisoners on their way to jail.

Films like this always make me wonder whatever happened to the people. People such as the bag lady seen inspecting the bins for some discarded piece of treasure. People like those who were picking up their luggage after arriving from the Carribean. People like the little boy who got lose but was eventually reunited with his Mother.

One of my favourite characters was the station announcer who did her knitting in between announcements and kept her cup of tea in the desk drawer.

A wonderful, warmhearted film.

Riveting (I was suprised)

By Andrew from London,UK , 01 Oct 2006

It's filmed at Waterloo in 1961 but it's really a social history of the commuters and people that go through it. The documentary, with music for narration, gave me a glimpse of my parents life. And, as someone who travels regularly through Waterloo, this was riveting.
