Alan Sillitoe's ground-breaking film of 1950's Britain, as seen through the eyes of the unforgettable Arthur Seaton was immortalised on screen by Albert Finney. Between cups of tea, too many pints and a long list of lady friends, Arthur spends his days in a factory and his nights trying to forget it all. A hard-drinking, hard-fighting young rebel of a man, he knows what he wants and he s sharp enough to get it - he's never had it so good. One evening he meets Brenda and Arthur s life begins to look less simple...
