Storyline

- GoofsThe trains at the Liverpool - Dublin railway/Ferry terminus are neither British Rail locomotives or in Standard British Rail Blue & Yellow livery. This scene was quite obviously filmed in Eire on the Irish Railway network with only a token attempt (a loudspeaker announcement in an English accent) to hide it.
- Crazy creditsThe opening Columbia logo on this film has no lettering, just the lady with the torch.

Featured review
I saw this movie about 25 years ago, and the title has stuck with me all these years. The movie must have impressed me deeply. I remember two children fleeing, attempting to get to a relative some distance away. I was around 9 when I saw the movie, so I can only say it would probably appeal to a younger audience.
