Old childhood favorite
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
This movie is a childhood favorite, being a railfan. I love trains and this is one of the few movies where they were incorporated into the plot effectively. Also, Ernie Kovacs played a convincing railway executive.
I like the many film shots of New Haven railroad equipment, albeit painted for the fictional Eastern & Portland, especially the famous EMD FL9 electric/diesel-electric locomotives.
Additionally, I love lobsters. No, not to eat. I would keep one for a pet myself, but I prefer to let them live where they belong! I love the scene where Jack Lemon throws Sam the Lobster into the "Girl's side" and tells him to "Live!" Homerus americanus is a wonderful creature. However, I am not quite the animal rights activist Doris Day is.
It is an all around likable movie.
