Sixties British working-class films.

Kinda underrated.

 

A lot of these "kitchen sink" films are available for streaming on the new FilmStruck app

 

Not the same watching a film on youtube, grateful for it nevertheless.

 

What about Darling ?

 

Available on region B Blu-ray from StudioCanal.

 

I still like "Saturday Night, Sunday Morning" the best. Now THAT's working class! (That should be the title of my new CD compilation). I found "Darling" a little too "Darling" and "A Taste of Honey" was my favorite of the "girl" films. "Georgie Girl" veered for me. Not verite enough.

 

Gumshoe?

 

West 11-Alfred Lynch as an angry young man involved in a murder for hire scheme
The System (aka The Girl-Getters)-Oliver Reed as an angry young man at the seaside (with Jane Merrow)

 

End scene: Quad els 57's for hifi trainspoters out there.

 

Death Wish director Michael Winner.

 

Morning coffee perhaps?

Expresso Bongo

 

Perhaps because it’s about as gritty as milk toast?

It may date from 1963, but Summer Holiday is more of a throwback to the clean-cut, teen fantasy musicals of the 1950s. It has little in common with the kitchen sink movement that I thought we were discussing here.

Sorry for the milky tea, and burnt toast.

 

Apology accepted.

Make mine a full English from now on, please.

 

The Servant?
No thanks !!!

 

The System as well

 

Play It Cool.

 

yeah just watched the Blu Ray last night. The drink scene looked pretty authentic.

 

Met Albert Finney in London 1996 he had been buying fruit and veg from a market stall, he was also currently playing in the west end production Art. Mentioned to him I liked his performance in the Dennis Potter tv series Cold Lazarus, Finney told me " I had to do it ".

 

Alexpop has a "dirty little secret?"

 

Will check it out!
