A great British film that I really enjoyed. According to the BBC review this is : "a fascinating film, and a snapshot of an era that's depressingly all too real."
"Finney exhibits a talent and screen-presence here that helped make him a star. Meanwhile, director Reisz (who went on to make "The French Lieutenant's Wife" in 1981) stays faithful to the spirit of Sillitoe's novel, never compromising on either the bleakness of his vision or his (over) optimistic faith in his hero's defiance."
