Orphan Train (1979)

Yay, John Femia

The only reason I bought this video is because of John Femia (he played Tony), of whom I am a great fan. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how good this film is otherwise. It certainly kept my attention all the way through, although it was heartbreaking at times. All in all a good movie, certainly worth watching. October 28, 2008

Needs to be on DVD.

I have seen this movie on TV over 25 years ago when I was a younger man. I loved the children in this movie who are already grown up by now. This is the type of movie that I would want my children to watch if I had any. To whoever has the power to do so. PLEASE MAKE THIS MOVIE INTO A DVD. Thank you May 22, 2005

A childhood favourite i'll never forget!!!

I live in England, am 22 years of age and saw this film on it's only showing in the UK about 8 years ago. I love the story and it really touched my heart.

I wish I didn't love this film so much but I do, my reason for saying this is, it was only realised on video in the US and therefore is not watchable on UK format. I wish they would bring it out on DVD so it can be enjoyed by all who loved it.
I did have a copy that was tapped from television and was unfortunately destroyed in a flood, I have been looking for it ever since.

This film is steeped in US history, it is about a group of orphaned children who make a journey across America, to find families who will love and care for them. Anybody with a heart will love this film as much as I did.

If anybody knows of anyway that I can get a copy that can be viewed in the UK please email me at Kazem0482@aol.com thank you.

Very Good Film

I highly recommend this movie. It's a good reminder to us how orphaned children in America greatly struggled in our early days before federal programs were put in place to help them. One caution: the hanging scene of a 15-year-old boy may be disturbing to elementary school-aged children. January 1, 2004
