  • ""The first big mistake Ralph makes is not clearing the snow from the front walk, and his life goes downhill from that point on. By the end of the story, the mailman has slipped on his job, Alice, his wife, doesn't live there anymore, and Ralph himself resolves to stop worrying--about the body, his wife, and the front walk"--Film and video catalogue, 1984/85 / National Film Board of Canada."
  • "Summary: This animated film tells the story of Ralph who, having neglected to clear the ice from his frontdoor steps, returns home to find the body of the mailman lying there. Fearing the consequences, especially the anticipated action of the Letter Carrier's Union, he decides to get rid of the body. To allay suspicion, he first completes the mailman's deliveries and this sets off a strange sequence of events. The unexpected developments have an inexorable logic of their own and the story ends with Ralph back at home, his wife in another province and the mailman being found in his bed with a broken neck. Awards: Academy Award; International Animated Film Festival, Zagreb; American Film Festival, New York."
