Set in 1960s and 1970s England, THE DAMNED UNITED tells the confrontational and darkly humorous story of Brian Cloughs doomed 44 day tenure as manager of the reigning champions of English football Leeds United. Previously managed by his bitter rival Don Revie, and on the back of their most successful period ever as a football club, Leeds was perceived by many to represent a new aggressive and cynical style of football - an anathema to the principled yet flamboyant Brian Clough, who had achieved astonishing success as manager of Hartlepool and Derby County building teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor. Taking the Leeds job without Taylor by his side, with a changing room full of what in his mind were still Dons boys, would lead to an unheralded examination of Cloughs belligerence and brilliance over 44 days. This is that story. The story of The Damned United. Adapted for the screen by Peter Morgan (The Queen, The Last King of Scotland, Frost/Nixon) from the best-selling and critically acclaimed novel by David Peace. Directed by Tom Hooper (John Adams, Longford, Elizabeth I).

It's not in the film but clough was one of the greatest british socialists of all time. He was a great man. The road from Derby to Nottingham is called Brain Clough Road
1. It was out in United States and I saw it. 2. Premier League Football is popular over here (GO MAN CITY!!) 3. Know a bit about Brian Clough and his career, an American sports comparison might be the career of Yankees skipper Billy Martin (Clough's relationship with Peter Taylor was similar to the Martin/Steinbrenner mix) Sadly, death ended both relationships before they could be mended.
in theatres right now... or maybe was...obviously limited engagement, was being shown at one cinema in my area (miami) but is already out of theatres because of limited interest...
