  • a dish! in England that is another way of saying he was a hunk ;-)

  • This is, when I was 18 years of age, a film that made me realise I was a human being contributing to society, albeit in a disproportunate way, I was not really reaping the rewards of my endeavours, but it made me aware that I existed, that I mattered, I was a part of the whole, a big part of the whole, in fact the biggest part of the whole, without me and my workmates keeping at it the whole system would collapse, the so called 'Kitchen Sink' cinema, we lived it for real, not on celluloid .

  • Thank you very much. 

  • Does anybody know the name of this song played? cheers

  • @chrisokeeffe theme tune to the film

  • I would love to get a copy of the song 'Let's slip away' used in the fairground scene, but the only version available sounds different!

  • can someone tell me the song that is played on this trailer and frequently throught the film, i know its by johnny dankworth, but i dont know where to find it :/

  • Whatever People Say I'm, That's What I'm Not

  • It is an excellent movie, very gritty, but the book is even better...but the actress who played his married lover was attrocious on accents! She was all over the show, lol

  • RIP Alan Sillitoe, a true son of Nottingham

  • RIP Alan Sillitoe

    <3 :'( x

  • This movie rocks!! and Shirley is so hot too!!!

  • Is the terrace, and street, this was filmed down, still there?

  • He was out for a good time and all the rest was propoganda

  • I've read Sillitoe's novel countless times & I can't wait to see the film. I have to find it somewhere. I hope it's true to the book but from this it looks accurate.

  • @giggyjuju

    It doesn't exactly follow, some stuff was eased down a bit, but the spirit is still there. finney is great and the movie is a gem.

  • great film great location...NOTTINGHAM

  • MANCHESTER!

  • @GanEdenAustralia - Nottingham actually, which doubled for Manchester in Control, so I suppose it's understandable to say that. Sorry for being a pedantic correcting net-knob, just a proud Nottnum lad, Manchester can get it's own cinema gem

  • @BowcatJukeboxxx No worries. :)

    Just proud that Finney is a Salford lad like me.

  • @GanEdenAustralia - Spot on then mate, gotta be proud of those roots, Salford has some pretty impressive sons it turns out

  • @BowcatJukeboxxx Oh aye, Finney, Powell, Kingsley....:)

  • An amazing and very true look at life in 1960 , have just watched this , and its great (not seen it since it came out). Finney is Brilliant !!

  • I absolutely love this film, It was made the year I was born,

    I still treasure the copy I got from my Wife who works in the local motorway service station,when a few years ago one of the Sunday broadsheets was giving them away free with the supplement.

  • Born and raised in Nottingham, and have yet to see this film!! Just wondering if there's anywhere to watch it on the internet, seeing as it's probably fallen out of copyright being 50 years old.

  • Saw it for sale on AmazonUK & here in the states

    It's not in PD, MGM owns the rights.

  • Albert Finney is related to me, but i don't know him. :P

  • what a dish Albert finney was back in the day!!!

  • yes!

    and what a great film - kitchen sink movie

    when albert shoots the neighbour with his air gun hahaha x

  • the same guy that acted as Scrogge so well -who would have thought. What a telented guy

  • @jewells247 "I know! We were twins. Well thats what she said."

  • @jewells247 A dish or a douche?

  • yes phplane, we did that as well, my grandma and grandad was on the goose fair,i used to get a doll every year cus my birthday is in October,it was one of them with big frilly frock, and when they finished, me and my sister used to go and stay in thier caravan, they had two big elsations. i miss that now.

  • Sally Ann Field was a beautiful young actress in this movie and went on to great things. She is still very beautiful today.

  • You should see Albert Finney in The Bourne Ultimatum with an American accent!

  • I saw this movie on TCM the other day and i absolutely loved it

  • Albert Finney is so damn sexy in this.

    Great fucking film!

  • Now see here 'Monkeysruleforever', is there any need to swear I ask you? Although you're a working class angry young man, must you blight the Queens English. Oh you little tyke you. Next time, try not to fucking swear.

  • ALan Sillitoe ROCKS!!!!!

  • oh by the way.. where can I see the whole movie?

  • I just took a look at this video because I saw a blue plaque on the house opposite mine in Llanelli, Wales, uk. saying Racel Roberts was born there. For those like me who dont know Ms Roberts she is the lead acress in Saturday night and Sunday morning, amongst others. Well there you go... my internet squiz for the day!!

  • We played at that canal as kids, went to that fair , jumped off the back of the bus going down derby rd to hand in heart pub, good times.

  • a bit before my time but 2 me aclassic! havent seen it on telly 4 ages

  • This film made a huge impression on me when I first saw it in the late 70s. Albert Finney was/is a magnificent actor. This was a landmark in British cinema and the start of the so-called 'kitchen sink dramas' of the 60s with gritty working class storylines. The film 'A kind of loving' with Alan Bates was a similar type of film.

  • I would love to watch the whole programme of this on here, can you do that.

  • wat a film

  • the BEST movie EVER made.WOW!!!

  • Amazing film! Albert Finney is a legend. So pissed off its out of print. :(

  • I just rented it on netflix

  • Amazon has it for sale.

  • i want to see the whole film,  where I can buy it? Most shops I tried don't have it

  • It's out of print now. If you can get hold of one of the original reprints released by the BFI on DVD, you'll have to fork out £20 at least.

    Best thing to do is if you've got a multi-region DVD player, to go on Amazon and buy the region 1 version. Or, go on eBay and buy the free DVD that was given away in the Sunday Telegraph. There are usually quite a few on there going for a fiver or so because people have cottoned on that it's out of print.

    Hope that helps :).

  • Amazon UK re-released it back in March it's up on the website now. Great Film.

  • Try amazon mate , or ebay , reckon you read the book before the movie see if you like it .

  • i'ld like find a trailer from "Night Must Fall"(1964).To me, the best Finney's work.

  • "Don't let the bastards grind you down" One of the greatest films i've ever seen. Kitchen sink drama at it's best!

  • Great film with outstanding performance from

    Albert Finney if you have not seen it please

    do its a classic thanks for clip.

  • filmed in my hometown...and it hasn't changed one bit..lol

  • I'm out for a good time all the rest is propaganda

  • one of the best british films ever ,see it if you havent

  • Your a bit of a red if you ask me....

  • fantastic film

  • love it ! thanks a lot

  • great classic film!!!

  • "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not!"

    Arctic Monkeys,

  • Sorry, But "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not!" MORRISSEY. Arctic Monkeys like Morrissey. They call that first album the same as a tribute to Morrissey.
