The Mailbag Robbery

Watched this a few times now on TPTV and believe you me it gets no better ! Even in 1957 ( six years prior to The Great Train Robbery ) British Rail would not have been daft enough to leave millions of pounds unattended in a carriage ajoining a domestic carriage with just a plywood panel in between! That aside everything else is ludicrous- from the different engines on a non stop route - rubbish continuity - one scene is dark , the next light . Why would a man with a dodgy ulcer be involved and why is half the cast American? The bratty kid that annoys the hell out of the passengers and receives no parental reprimands is real enough I suppose - there are plenty of those about nowadays .
