Description du film :
An adaptation of the classic film made for television. Three Edwardian children Roberta, Peter and Phyllis move to Yorkshire with their mother when their father is falsely imprisoned as a spy. The nearby railway becomes the centre of their new life, providing them with many adventures whilst they strive to prove their father’s innocence ...
»The Railway Children« is a classic children’s book, since it first appeared over 100 years ago it has never been out of print.
Roberta (Bobbie), Peter and Phyllis live a comfortable and carefree upper middle-class life in London with their parents. But when their father, a senior civil servant, is arrested on a charge of treason and found guilty, they are forced to move with their mother to »Three Chimneys«, a cold and rundown cottage in the country near a railway.
Whilst Mother tries to make a meagre living writing stories and poems she hopes magazines and newspapers will publish, the children seek amusement by watching the trains on the nearby railway line (the fictional Great Northern and Southern Railway) and waving to the passengers. They become friendly with Perks, the cheerful station porter, but feel the wrath of the Stationmaster when Peter is caught trying to steal coal to heat the house.
They become friends with the Old Gentleman (whose name is never revealed) who regularly takes the 9:15 down train. They ask him to assist them with food and medicine when Mother falls ill. He is happy to do so, although Mother is angry and embarrassed.
The children save the lives of passengers on a train by alerting them of a landslide; they give shelter to a Russian dissident, Mr Szczepansky, and help to unite him with his family. They rescue Jim, the grandson of the Old Gentleman, who is injured whilst participating in a paper chase.
Bobbie eventually discovers the truth of her father’s absence, despite Mother’s efforts to shield them from it, and appeals to the Old Gentleman for his help. A Director of the railway company with influential friends, he is able to help prove their father’s innocence. The family is reunited.
