As the subtitle of the film suggests - The Story of a Post Card from Manchester to Graffham - this journey is very much focused on the process of sorting, transporting and delivering the postcard in question.

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
boblipton I don't want to say anything bad about a Humphrey Jennings movie. After all, the man made some of the best propaganda shorts of the Second World War and his common-man-doing-his-common-job documentary style is very telling. Also this movie does show a wry sense of humor with a mild capper joke at the end.However, the movie is about how a boy in Manchester mails a penny postcard to his aunt on a farm in Sussex and how it gets there in less than a day. It's about the dull routine of sorting and things being carried on trains and a man putting down his bicycle to walk over a hill. It's about logistics, and while good logistics is an important economic force for shaping our world, it's still a dull subject. Even if there is some nice scenery on the way.
