	Titfield Thunderbolt, The - DVD - Title T Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
		Ealing Studios produced many an eccentric film of life in Britain and the Titfield Thunderbolt is one such example.
		With the town of Titfield having lost their regular railway service, the local bus company now had a monopoly.
		But the townspeople had other ideas and got hold of an old engine and some rolling stock and with the help of the redundant train driver and fireman set about restoring their connection to the not too distant main line station.

		Writer T.E.B. Clarke ("Tibby") was inspired to write the Titfield Thunderbolt saga after a 1951 visit to the volunteer-operated Talyllyn Railway, which carries passengers and slate along the Cambrian coast between Towyn and Abergynolwyn, in Wales.
		A wooden replica of "Lion" was made for the scene where "Thunderbolt" is removed from the museum.
		A replica locomotive was built on the chassis of a Bedford truck for the scene where the locomotive is seen driving down the road.

	Ealing Studios Comedy Collection (The Maggie / A Run for Your Money / Titfield Thunderbolt / Whisky Galore! / Passport ...
		Ealing Studios was the birthplace of the most delectable crop of movies to decorate postwar cinemas, a group of veddy British comedies that nevertheless spoke the international language.
		Finally, The Titfield Thunderbolt, from 1953, is a Charles Crichton-directed farce about a small town going into the railroad business (and the first Ealing comedy in color).
		THE TITFIELD THUNDERBOLT is the kind of understated charming film that the British seem to excel at.

		Continuity: During the trial the chimney on the saloon coach changes sides from right to left and back again in comparison to the Titfield Thunderbolt.
		The coach obviously was turned around during filming and pulled the other way.
		One thing I do recall about this film was the incredibly beautiful use of "Colour by Technicolor." Hollywood cinematographers, at their best, rarely matched what their English counterparts often achieved.

	screenonline: Titfield Thunderbolt, The (1953)
		The rural England of the film is one in which the old 'natural order' is restored, with leadership of the countryside back in the hands of the country squire and the vicar, to the satisfaction of all.
		Its enemies are commercial interests, as represented by the bus company Pearce and Crump Ltd, and, implicitly, the newly nationalised British Rail, which wants to close down Titfield's tiny branch line.
		Perhaps the then Prime Minister even had the film in mind when, in the mid-1990s, his government rushed through the deeply unpopular re-privatisation of British Rail, the disastrous results of which mean that Britain's trains, like Titfield's, run slowly.

	The Titfield Thunderbolt Movie Review (1953) from Channel 4 Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Ealing Comedy about villagers taking on the powers that be, who threaten to close down their railway.
		The Titfield Thunderbolt remains one of the lesser-known Ealing comedies.
		This effort from director Charles Crichton - who'd previously directed the better known Ealing Comedy The Lavender Hill Mob as well of several of the studio's dramas - sees Holloway and Gregson get to play at trains, and boasts plenty of charm and gentle humour.
