Saturday Night and Sunday Morning-Albert Finney 1960

[@derekbrown7892]

Absolutely superb movie,nothing like it today produced.

[@shelleyrichardson2070]

Love this film and love albert finney❤

[@jonnyrocket3659]

one of my favourite movies of all time... 30 years ago when anyone told me to do anything at work, I'd reply saying "yes Mr. Robbo"... they never understood it.. my little joke to myself... and Shirley Anne Field played her part beautifully. The kitchen sink drama genre had a revival in the late 80's as I remember, but I've always been surprised that there haven't been any remakes since... I reckon there's an opportunity missed there

[@simonpearce5039]

Yes this country is lacking gritty films like this. Kitchen Sink Drama forever.

... Good Comments 👍🇬🇧

I love movies like this and I also have it on DVD.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

What were those 80s films? Any humour in them?

5.20 am. They don't make films as excellent as this anymore; about real life. I was ten when this was made - it was a different world!

[@lindauribe3716]

This movie is a favorite of mine. I was born in the small fishing town of San Pedro California. My Yugoslavian Grandfather came to America and made his money in the fishing business. My Father came from Ireland and made his living with the San Pedro Water Department working hard all his life and making a good living. Many English movies show the hardships of working class both in the past and now in England. My favorite writer is Catherine Cookson who wrote over 100 books and movies made from them of the poor in England and the rich and the contrast of both.She was honored at a Literary writer and the movies made from her books are amazingly real and beautiful in scenery.

Brilliant film Finney at his best, and what a superb performance he did as Churchill in the BBC film The Gathering Storm,he is the best actor to take on the Churchill role ever.

BEST FILM EVER MADE

One of the coolest characters in british film- salute Mr Finney. you bought Arthur to life in such a wonderful way. the theme music is damn classic too. "the rest is propaganda!"

[@seany3303]

You would never guess this young guy would be Ed Masry in Erin Brokovich

Perfectly captures the squalor of the period

[@derekbrown7892]

One of the best movies

5:59 "Tagg" advertisement on back of bus - that's C.S.Tagg, electrical contractors, my dad worked for them, he reckoned the boss, Charlie Tagg, fled to South Africa with the pension money or some such funds. I still have what must be the world's only cricket jumper with C.S.Tagg colours.

Albert Finney playing Arthur Seaton and brilliant in the role

[@davidcartmell2141]

the classic rebel without a clue.

[@cartermcafee1142]

To say the least Arthur is very cheeky .

[@henrimatisse4768]

Brilliant music...

Great times. My grandmas bungalow backed onto the Raleigh factory. There was a huge brick wall about 40 feet high that enclosed the site. Sadly long gone

Imagine a time when *youth* looked down on watching a screen.

Imagine a time when the adults were glued to the screen.

@@ColtraneTaylor They no longer are?

[@ColtraneTaylor]

@@spb7883 I was saying that those times weren't as clever and free from tv watching as you suggest.

[@spb7883]

@@ColtraneTaylor Yes, a lot of people watched tv then. A lot watch it now, despite the technology changing. *My point* was that - if only as a posture - rejecting television was at least *stereotyped* as a form of rebellion. Now, people who think of themselves as nonconformists think *we should look at them* on screen.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

@@spb7883 Yes, but a problem then and now is that we are seeing the nonconformists on screens. It's not a very valuable message saying 'we should turn off our screens' from off a screen. This is why I go straight to the comments, I watch the news but not some social media person.

Albert Finney died Feb 2019 aged 82 - what a brilliant actor he was.

[@davidcartmell2141]

i think he was about 23 or 24 when this was filmed. he died quite recently. lived life to the full.

great to watch a movie without political correction

Too correct to be honest! Such are many movies today.

You think? That period had its own political correctness. You couldn't swear or say anything blasphemous. Most films were very banal and unrealistic.
