Review of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960) by Les E — 10 Mar 2012
In a similar vein to Billy Liar, this is another of those 1960s b&w grim Northern British films, only not quite so Northern and grim being set in and around the Raleigh bicycle factory. On the face of it, I didn't expect much, but it was actually very enjoyable, well-written, amusing in parts (the airgun episode in particular) and tense in others.
Seeing England in a hard-to-imagine era with British cars, when pubs weren't closing down, manufacturing was booming, empty roads with parking spaces everywhere was an unexpected bonus. Well worth watching.
8.5/10.
