Apparently, this film was shot mostly around Kennibunkport, Maine. It's an interesting view of the arrogance of the rail barons, showing how they took what was left of their passenger franchise and drove the sinking ship (pardon the mixed metaphor) into the ground. From a plot point of view, it takes everyone FOREVER to realize that the the central plot point (no rail service out of town) is easily solved by using the train Doris Day has impounded.
On a more negative note, this has some of the most ANNOYING "cute children" scenes ever filmed. Not only do Ms. Day's children grate, but there is an astoundingly annoying scene where the entire Cape Anne, Maine cub scout troupe "sings". Cicadia sound better.
