Special Delivery was made in 1978 by John Weldon, it won a national film award in Canada. Special Delivery is all about a couple that are living in a house. The wife tells the husband to de-ice the front steps before the postman comes but he doesnt and when he comes back he finds the postman dead on the stairs. He carrys him into his house and puts him on a chair. He then takes the postmans clothes and does he round for him because he thinks if the police come they will know it was him because the people that lived before him had there post but the people that live after him didnt. So he does his round for him and then comes back to his house and forgets that his keys are in his jeans pocket so trys to get into his house through a window. At this point the police go by his house and see him and think hes trying to break in, so they arrest him but he doesnt stay in jail for long as the post office pay for his bail. The wife then comes home and finds the dead postman on the chair and we find out that she had slept with him before hand and we see what she thinks thats happened so she runs away. Then the husband gets home and takes the body back to his postmans flat and puts him in bed and a couple of days later the doctors say he died in his sleep and the man gets away with it and has no nagging wife anymore.
I really liked this film, the animation wasnt the best but it the storyline was which helped it alot. It had alot of funny parts in the film which kept me interested in the piece and i can see why it won a film award.
