I saw this in 1962 at the ABC Golders Green .sitting in the circle for which i paid 4/-(20p).I shouldn't have been there as it was an X film and at 15 i was one year younger than the admittance age.Seeing it again yesterday made me realise just what a groundbreaking film this was.Filmed in a North Country working class town.with a situation that happened in real life all the time.man getting girl pregnant and having to marry her.This film was just on the cusp of the swinging sixties and the sexual revolution brought by the pill and legal abortion.The characters are so true to life with superb writing,acting and direction.Incidentally the football match shown is not at Blackburn as implied.It is at Burnden Park and shows a match between Bolton Wanderers and Sheffield United.
