I detest hearing an husband and wife referring to one another as 'Mother, Father'. - @Tuesday, September 27, 2016 2:40 PM

A very young Deborah Kerr in one of her first films. My friend Ronald Gow (husband of actress Wendy Hiller) wrote this Screen Play version for this film. - @Tuesday, September 27, 2016 2:37 PM

Sue Harvey: this type of squalor was prevalent in the 30's. I agree, give me 2016 anytime.... - @Sunday, August 14, 2016 11:47 AM

Was wandering that.... (about socialist propaganda), film seems to be Marxist. Made in 1941, you would have thought that Harry would have joined the army. - @Sunday, August 14, 2016 11:45 AM

I notice that many people don't know the difference between Capitalism and Crony Corporatism. Capitalism is not the problem. - @Monday, March 28, 2016 2:55 PM

A great old film.. It sure was a different world back in 1930! Capitalism stinks if you ask me, well actually its facium the tiny % at the top ,owning nearly all the wealth .making the majority slave for a pittance. Greed selfishness thats human nature i guess ,well it stinks if you ask me. It time to try and redistribute the wealth , but i ,m not sure it possible now ,too many people in the world .where would you start? Revolution ? that dos,nt seem to work - @Wednesday, February 10, 2016 3:05 AM

Wow, Sue Harvey doesn't live in Salford 2016 that's for sure, it is just as bad now ! even worse because people like you keep talking shit, wake up people, the UK is a vile vile place if you are poor, no jobs, zero hour contracts and no dole, if you are sick you are reviled by the rich and the BBC tell Tory lies as truth, you work for MI5 Sue ? - @Wednesday, January 13, 2016 3:01 AM

This was quite a heavy piece. Think about the unemlpoyed today. They must be experiencing the very same feelings. BTW Deborah Kerr was as wonderful as ever. What a talent! - @Sunday, January 10, 2016 11:12 PM

eeeeh bah gum ! My grandparents used to be that hungry that granny used to fry up her own battered turds for for sunday lunch. They had to make a spoonful of tea leaves last a month, They all died of consumption and TB before they were thirty but were jolly grateful to Mr Chamberlain for everything he did for them................................happy old days! - @Saturday, January 2, 2016 9:15 PM

Beautiful movie, thanks so much for sharing this, there is a book called 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist' which is in the same vein of english socialism. - @Wednesday, November 18, 2015 10:40 AM

Most of the cast are really struggling with the Northern accent. - @Thursday, September 10, 2015 8:54 AM

It's a very salutary thought that scenes like this were commonplace throughout the UK within my lifetime....When I hear people complain at how tough life is now I want to laugh. There was no free health care, housing in poorer areas appalling, subsistence level welfare payment only came in later, disease, drunkeness, squalor, prevailed. Give me today any time. - @Wednesday, August 26, 2015 3:26 PM

Thanks for the upload, memories came back in the opening scene. I used to make rockets out of newspapers to start a fire and the newspaper caught fire when drawing the fire as a child. Great Movie. - @Monday, June 29, 2015 11:35 PM
