Lauded 1936 documentary, showing the various stages and procedures
of the operation of the Royal Mail train delivery service, that
remains one of the most instantly recognised films in British film
history.
It begins with a voiceover commentary describing how the
mail is collected for transit. Then, as the train proceeds along
the course of its journey, we are shown the various regional
railway stations at which it collects and deposits its cargo.
Inside the train the process of sorting takes place.
As it nears
its destination there is a sequence - the best known in the film -
in which WH Auden's spoken verse and Benjamin Britten's music are
combined over montage images of racing train wheels.
