Starring: Albert Finney
A Nottingham factory worker is dissatisfied with his lot, gets into trouble through an affair with a married woman, but finally settles for convention.
Gritty realistic drama. An angry young man searching for a way out of his hum-drum existence. To be honest, I never warmed to the character and felt desperately sorry For the people he was constantly taking advantage of. The whole setting is superbly observed, stunningly realistic streets, houses and pubs makes no attempt to glamorise. Apparenlt ground breaking when released, it's dated now but is still fascinating viewing. 7/10
