An English guy of a 'certain age'. I am exploring the movies my sister took me to see at a very tender age. Train mad, I remembered the wreck; a huge steamer with streamlined coaches ramming the fancy Yankee car and then ploughing into the back of the stationary train. A model? Who cares, I still enjoy it. More though. I agree with am earlier comment about the 'raising of the top' sequence (the only black people in the whole film)and the street sequences as 'Americana' of a very precise period.
However from my perspective now, the animal sequences - especially, the elephants, sickens me.
