Documentary puts quota quickies and many feature films to shame

Within the limitations of a documentary with no professional cast and minimal speech this does its subject - Edinburgh and its people - proud, so too its director Eldridge. Very atmospheric, much is shot at night with subtle lighting. Centered around a railway station in the age of steam and apparently shot in Autumn/Winter where human breath leaves a vaporous trail, it makes the very most of these opportunities. The camera-work and lighting is always inventive and very pleasing. Pioneering too with the sound editing which leads the sound from the next scene. It smoothly inter-cuts between small stories, scenes and events.

Either well-resourced or a driven very hard-working director, this is an impressive piece of work

Curiosidades
This is described in the book, "Scotland: The Movie" as being perhaps the last WWII propaganda film to be made by the British Government. Although it appeared in 1947, two years after the war ended, there was still heavy rationing in the UK. Most of the cast were amateurs from Edinburgh's Gateway Theatre.

Erros de gravação
The film starts with a train, presumably leaving London and close ups of the engine show it to be Union of South Africa with a number of shots of it traveling north, but then a close up of the train approaching Edinburgh shows that the engine is now Merlin.

Citações
Title Cards: This is a film about Edinburgh, a glimpse into the lives of a few of its citizens between 5 o'clock one Sunday afternoon and late the following night.
