GB
1971
1hr 45mins
Dir: Ralph Nelson
Starring: Ron Moody and Dorothy McGuire

While fleeing across the Irish countryside, two orphans are pursued by their villainous uncle, a master of disguises

This family drama is an adaptation of Walter Macken’s 1963 novel of the same name. Set in Ireland, there is one very good shot of CIE black and tan-liveried Metro-Vick A Class diesel locomotive No. A60, with a couple of laminate and Cravens coaches on the Carlisle Pier in Dún Laoghaire.

The rather decent shot of a British-built Metropolitan-Vickers A Class diesel at Carlisle Pier. The loco is No. A60, the last of the class, which would go on to be renumbered 060.
