The Postman (1940-1949) Pathe film

Post by krussel »

No sound but still interesting. He covers a lot of ground but it appears that 1 in 30 houses get any mail. Looks kinda peaceful, guess this was after the war.

Pathe film.

Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

2.27 im assuming thats his whole days mail ? and they tell us mail is down ?!
riding a bike with no helmet or high vis jacket, the manager will have him in the office. I think with the amount of mail he took out this video hasnt actually been edited and he only worked 10 minutes a day

Looks like a bit of a runner to me, flying round slamming gates! Which village is it? Not one car in sight (apart from the parked one outside the Post Office). A sound track would have been nice.

I love the sorting frame and not a elastic band in sight.

It's Wheathamstead in Hertfordshire. Check out the church on Google Earth, it's the one thing that doesn't change although the rest of the village is now a small town!

Looks ideal, dream job.

I bet off camera he never carried that bag but had it on the bike and walked up that hill. :left:

Its crazy though as we all get more mail than that for half a road these days.

Had he left his bike like that round our way then some oik would be off with it :left:

Surely someone on here has the tech know how to put a modern day voice over on it, similar to "boro pat" on youtube.
