I love this film. I saw it when it was new. I went to the Charterhouse but I certainly understand the idea of being isolated and bullied. School is the ultimate devastation for the underdog, the good kids, who get swept under the rug by the ruling clique.The dilemma is universal and is much the same today.
Fish and Chips for 2 Shillings! (10p). 40 years later, fish & chips will cost you anything between £3.50 - £14!! And they are nowhere near as good as they used to be.
I went to school with kids like him , the parents didnt give a rats arse about them and they'ed always pig out at school dinners because not much if anything in the cupboards at home
Great posting 123, I like the KKSS disguise. Colin Welland was a teacher in real life, in Leigh, Lancashire, England. Went on to greater glory writing the script for" Chariots of fire". A classic british film, one of Ken Loach's finest.

Technically speaking a kestel is a falcon, not a hawk.
