Film descriptionIn the everyday life of railway workers, Prompt arrival – an everyday thing. However, one must struggle diligently and sometimes make sacrifices on account of these everyday victories, we learn from the voiceover. A crew of railwaymen agree to deliver an important coke shipment. Will they manage to keep their word despite the obstacles? This is one of Munk’s most interesting social-realism documentaries, with profound insights, sensitivity to details, and tension established by masterful editing. Munk reduced voiceover to the maximum extent allowed and focused on the main characters – engine drivers who undertook the obligation. For Munk, this film was an important experience as a prelude to his Man on the Tracks (1956). |
