Film Description

A combination of Wednesday Play realism and commercial "Swinging London" movie, this contains elements which were to become basics of Loach's method. Young mother Joy (Carol White) is forced to fend for herself when her brutal and uncaring husband, Tom (John Bindon), is put in jail. Joy finds brief happiness with Tom's criminal associate Dave (Terence Stamp), who proves kind and gentle when she moves in with him, but this relationship ends when he is also jailed, and Joy is left to raise her young son alone in squalid circumstances. Clips featuring Terence Stamp were used in The Limey, but Carol White's performance forms the real heart of the film.
