THE FAMILY

GB
1969
28mins
Dir: Michael Alexander
Starring: Actors unknown

A man travels to the Isle of Arran to marry his fiancée, only to find that her extended family is part of the package

This almost silent black and white mystery drama is quite horrifying at times and has a gentle guitar soundtrack throughout with barely a word being uttered. The opening two minutes feature scenes onboard trains, largely unidentifiable to the author, though it looks as if the first shot is taken onboard a DMU leaving Glasgow Central station.

As the train departs the station our traveller begins his journey. The cars on the platform with canopy above should be easy enough to identify. Is this Glasgow Central?
Another shot of the title card shows what could be a church in the background
Could this be the interior of a Class 107 DMU?
This final shot shows our traveller getting off the train. Directly in front are some iron railings and what looks to be water. Could this be Ardrossan Harbour station where the boats to Arran depart?
