4 out of 5 stars Good documentaries for railway enthusiasts.......2006-04-24

I anticipated the main film "Terminus" would provide good footage of Waterloo Station providing comprehensive coverage of the building. Instead the film concentrates on the experiences of travellers and railway staff, and only provides minimal coverage of the concourse and associated buildings. The film is well made and the transfer good.

The star of the DVD is "London to Brighton in four minutes", this is one of those lovely unforgettable BBC films from 1966 which I first saw on "Tonight" with Cliff Michelmore.

British Locomotives is really a promotion film for the locomotive industry (yes there were British industries in 1959) and provides running footage of a vast number of British built trains from all over the world.

Finally "First of the Thirteen" is a highly technical film of the installation of the first centralised signalling system, definitely for dedicated railway buffs. For the rest of us we can only wince at the pride with which we are shown asbestos channels and pipe work being installed.

I should rent unless you are really serious about railways.

4 out of 5 stars Classic Documentary by a master........2005-10-13

This DVD has four films on it, of which by far the best is 'Terminus', an account of a day in the life of London's Waterloo railway station in the early 1960's. It was directed by the great John Schlesinger, who brings his expert director's eye to the great railway terminus. From the opening shot of dawn over Waterloo, the camera panning round across London's skyline, this is obviously the work of a master. Stations are potentially wonderful places for films, what with people meeting, people saying farewells, people just wandering around. Schlesinger picks up other details, such as a little boy who gets separated from his mother (all ends happily), the signalmen (and their cat) flicking switches to control movements to and from all 24 platforms, and the lady announcer who appears to work in a glass box suspended over the station. Although only 30 minutes long, it is easy to see why this film was showered with awards when first released.

The rest of the disc consists of the BBC's classic 'London to Brighton in Four Minutes', which shows the driver's eye view of a journey from Victoria to Brighton travelling at the equivalent of 800 miles an hour! There is still a lot of fun in seeing a speeded-up film! There are also two other films which frankly are really of appeal to rail enthusiasts.

But the first two films should appeal to all, and are strongly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Deeply Moving Story.......2008-03-06

I watched this movie a while back, and have to say i have never had a movie shock me and movie as this one has in a very long time.
The movie tells the story of Dr Gisella Perl who survived the death camp at Auschwitz.
This lady saved many many many people in the horrible death camp by treating them for some of the horrid deseases they had picked up there. She was also forced to carry out abortions on mothers, otherwise they would be executed along with their babies. Later on she was also forced to carry out experiments on young mothers, and their unborn children.

After the war, she moved away from Europe in an effort to leave the horrors she had behind, and moved to the US. Once there the 'wonderfull' US government accused her of being a Nazi sympathizer, and of carrying out experiments of her own free will on her own people! Only after people she had cared for in the Death Camp came forward to voice their support, did the American government allow her to stay in the country...

A very very sad and shocking movie. Please, if you are easily shocked, or get emotional over atrocities that were carried out in the war, then id recomend not watching this. If however, like me, you wanted to see what really happened, and just how evil the Nazi's were, then watch this...
