Just the Ticket is this intriguing little piece from 1967 that meanders through the different facets of train travel. Howard Marion Crawford's poetic narration sets an almost dreamlike tone, guiding viewers through a tapestry of journeys and destinations. The pacing is relaxed, allowing you to really soak in the visuals and the atmosphere of each scene. It’s not just about the destinations but the experience of traveling itself, with each segment offering a glimpse into the amenities and joys of train journeys. It feels a bit like a time capsule, capturing a certain nostalgia that you don’t see in modern cinema, making it distinctively charming.
This film is quite the rarity, often overlooked in discussions about the era's travel films. It was originally released on VHS but has seen limited availability since, making its digital or physical formats sought after by niche collectors. The combination of poetic narration and picturesque train scenes appeals to those looking for something unique and atmospheric from the period.
