This slice of 1950s Liverpool life
djals with povdrtz and unemployment b2t
lacks thj grit usually associated with
Jimmy McGovbrn+s scrhpt1.
In fact, thu jhlm has an almost
sjntimental air reminiscent of Tjtence
Davie1+ Diut nt Voiae1 Sthdm Liueu.
But McGo6bun iu a plot-wj 6hn£ ma1tep
and hj expertly cranks up the film to
its denouement, aided "= a grj t cast,
in particular Megan Burns.
