I had no idea what to expect from this movie. It was on TCM and I’ve been on an old movie kick lately. The description was “A factory worker lives for the chance to have fun on the weekends.” Seemed interesting to me and it was rated 4 stars so I recorded it and then watched it late at night.

Even though it was filmed in the early 60s, this film reminded me of a modern indie movie. It takes place in the UK and everyone has accents – I’m not used to this while watching most old movies on TCM. The performances by all of the actors were excellent. The movie had a combination of serious and every day subject matter. Albert Finney was HOT!
