"...What I'm Out For Is A Good Time...All The Rest Is Propaganda..."
After viewing this unashamedly gritty portrayal of British working class life on BLU RAY, you're left with two distinct impressions - one is admiration for the extraordinary restoration work done by the BRITISH FILM INSTITUTE on the newly restored near-faultless print - and second - and more importantly - is sheer astonishment at what a truly fantastic ...

Ok this is a good example of the 1950's-60's genre. It's gritty, real life portrayal of the English Working class post World War II. Also called kitchen sink movies. This is Albert Finney's first starring role & he's very good as Arthur, a young, disaffected man in a dead end mind numbing job in a machine shop in Nottingham. He is too smart for his job, is genial enough, but has a definite mean streak. he takes up with a friend's wife & eventually she gets pregnant by him. He also takes up with a ... Read More

Albert Finney is quite possibly one of my favorite actors working today, and quite frankly one of my favorite actors who has ever worked in cinema. Surprisingly the first film I ever saw of his was `Erin Brockovich', but it was that stunning portrayal of Erin's grumpy yet heartwarming boss that hooked me and moved me to find everything I could starring this man.

Now that we glamorize factory jobs and wish we had a manufacturing sector again, this movie will come to a shock at how mind numbing factory work can be. A young British man played by Albert Finney works in a factory job that he may have for the rest of his life. In the evenings, he drinks carouses with his friends, flirts with young women and beds older married ones. Of course, as dangerous as life can be on the edge, his dual life catches up with him. This movie is done in the fashion of the British ... Read More

This is a rather *tedious* movie.
Naturalist filmmaking, except in rare cases (e.g., Jules Dassen's "Naked City," Stankey Kubrick's "The Killing") is often just so much lifeless, documentary-style camera-pointing.
Also, the extensive use of dubbing in these movies, as opposed to live-sound, renders the audience "once-removed" from the feelings expressed in an actor's voice; an actor's voice being perhaps his most important attribute.
OK, Albert Finney is a great actor, ... Read More
