Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe prominent headline "66,000 Fans See Chelsea and Sigh" on the back of the newspapers refers to a match that took place on September 2, 1959 at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea and Manchester United. Richard Attenborough was a lifelong Chelsea fan and Life Vice President of the club. The inclusion of the report of the 6-3 loss suffered by his team is likely to have been a joke at his expense.

Featured review
A bygone age
A film which shows how Britains factories worked in the 50s,a place which employs thousands of people,usually on low wages.The workers only protection is their union which of course is only fair.Then the union is taken over by a few dedicated socialists who then are manipulated by the far lft. .Everything that happens in this film is true to life,and shows that adults soon behave like spoilt children when they don't get there own way.The rights of the individual are soon gone,violence and bullying follows,the film ask questions and leaves you asking your self questions at the end.Well worth a watch 8/10
