..."On 30th January 1972, British Soldiers shot dead 13 unarmed civilians taking part in an anti-internment civil rights march in Derry, Northern Ireland.

Advantages: Great film
Disadvantages: None

...A great British film that I really enjoyed. According to the BBC review this is : "a fascinating film, and a snapshot of an era that's depressingly all too real." "Finney exhibits a talent and screen-presence here that helped make him a star. Meanwhile, director Reisz (who went on to make "The French Lieutenant's Wife" in 1981) stays faithful to the spirit of Sillitoe's novel, never compromising on either the bleakness of his vision or his (over) optimistic faith in his hero's defiance." There are no special extras with this DVD Director: Karel Reisz Writer: Alan Sillitoe Stars: Albert Finney, Rachel Roberts, Sally Anne Field, Bryan Pringle, Hylda Baker, Norman Rossington, Elsie Wagstaff. **** **** Resolution: 1.66 Wide Screen Genre: Drama Length: 88 minutes Original: 1960 Country: UK...
