A young man, inching his way up from working-class traditions via a white-collar job, finds himself trapped by the frightening reality of his girlfriend's pregnancy and is forced into marrying her and moving in with his mother-in-law due to a housing shortage in their Northern England town.
The film won the Golden Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival in 1962.

Aan Bates was just brilliant in everything he did. There aren't many like him left.

Thanks for posting this - I can't help but wonder if they ended up getting a divorce by the end of the 60s, when society had changed quite a bit from this.

Alan Bates was such a fantastic actor. I always remembered this as a great film and now I see how he made it great.
