Review of The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (1962) by Private U — 27 Dec 2007
It's a great example of the Angry Young Man film--kitchen sink movies about working-class kids rebelling against British society in one way or another. The end of the race is a pretty great "Screw You" to authority in general.
Tom Courtney does a great job in the lead role.
