UKs greatest director. The kids singing is the highlight & reminds me of the music in IF. This is the best thing to come out of the Wakefield Express. 😂 (I should know - I worked there)
remember Him been on bus from Lupset when I was on same one going to apprenticeship at Belle Isle...H was a character, tough lad but no harm in Him, think a gand of Lupset filth had a go at him when He was elderly ?
There's a whole Dvd box set called "Free Cinema" which was a movement of which Anderson was a co-founder, it has quite a fw films of his from this period of hs career.
A gem directed by Lindsay Anderson. Novelist Stan Barstow was born in Horbury in 1928 and would have known some of the folk in this film. Stan told Michael Parkinson on Desert Island Discs (listen online BBC) that he attended chapel with his parents three times on Sunday. A different world and a better one.
I am interested in digitizing it and uploading it because it shows how work was done in an interior newspaper in those years. I am a journalism teacher and I wanted to show it to my students.
I am sure its my Mum that appears at 31min 46 secs and is the lady in front. The outfit is like my Mum wore to work and I have a photo of her in the same clothes taken at the seaside which she said was her work clothes

A perfect capture of the period I was born into. A still proud, if austere nation......long gone down the pan.

Many thanks for this. Especially interesting for me as a fan of Lindsay Anderson's well known films, to see his earlier work.
