As the subtitle of the film suggests - The Story of a Post Card from Manchester to Graffham - this journey is very much focused on the process of sorting, transporting and delivering the postcard in question.

Penny Journey Audience Reviews

GazerRise Fantastic!
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
boblipton I don't want to say anything bad about a Humphrey Jennings movie. After all, the man made some of the best propaganda shorts of the Second World War and his common-man-doing-his-common-job documentary style is very telling. Also this movie does show a wry sense of humor with a mild capper joke at the end.However, the movie is about how a boy in Manchester mails a penny postcard to his aunt on a farm in Sussex and how it gets there in less than a day. It's about the dull routine of sorting and things being carried on trains and a man putting down his bicycle to walk over a hill. It's about logistics, and while good logistics is an important economic force for shaping our world, it's still a dull subject. Even if there is some nice scenery on the way.
