I remember watching this film when I was in my late teens and it was part of a Sunday night season of classic British films which included
A kind of Loving
Billy Liar
Room at the top
A taste of Honey
This sporting life
There was also a good performance by Hylda Baker as Albert's wily old Aunt....
Agree that the part when Ma Bull feels the full impact of the air rifle pellet is top notch.
I also fell hopelessly in love with Shirley Anne Field, who I happened upon in Lincoln two years ago- still looks as good as ever.
The musical score by John Dankworth was a brilliant backdrop which captured the Raleigh Factory setting of 1960's Nottingham

One of my favourite singers of the time was Adam Faith, and I just loved the version of 'What do you want if you don't want money', which was sung early on in the film. The drummer, in his DJ and bow tie, and the singer, whoever he was, just standing there clicking his fingers as he sang it. Wonderful stuff.

He plays the cool cat Dave who's hep to the beat daddy-o

He's the leader (sort of) of a group of teenagers who hang around in coffee bars and cellar clubs. He plays a couple of sings as well
