Saturday Night Sunday Morning

by Karel Reisz (1960)

BFI DVD

Based on Alan Sillitoe's largely autobiographical novel, and with powerful central performances, crackling dialogue and a superb jazz score by Johnny Dankworth, this film stands as a vibrant modern classic.

A rebellious, hard-living factory worker juggles relationships with two women, one of whom is married to another man but pregnant with his child.

Director Karel Reisz was a Czech-born British filmmaker who was active in post–World War II Britain, and one of the pioneers of the ‘kitchen sink realism’ trend in British cinema during the 1950s and 1960s.
