Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
Content classification not on file. Please see the OFLC website for more information.
In his first starring role Albert Finney gained international acclaim for his impressive protrayal of Arthur Seaton, a rebellious factory worker who lives only for his wild, carefree nights at the pub. The sights and sounds of industrial Nottingham resonate with grimy thud as Arthur works his tedious job. Through ale, women and practical jokes he vents his frustrations against the establishment of work and marriage until his reckless ways lead him to a night that changes his life. Based on Alan Sillitoe's novel and directed by Karel Reisz, Saturday Night Sunday Morning is a landmark British film of working class life that swept aside a class-riden landscape of drawing room dramas and announced a new generation of acting talent paving the way for the pioneering "kitchen sink" dramas of the 1960s.
