Brilliant Ensemble Showcases Young Actresses Pounding the Pavement in a Classic Dramedy

Choo Choo Trains Close Up

Alain Juppé

Stage Fright Prod, 1993

A must for the train lover!
Okay, I was expecting some dialogue in this film but there just isn't any except for the end when children are warned not to play in train yards. It would be nice if they did explain a few things as to what is going on so that it would be more educational. It's quite ...
