It's the end of the work cycle, and the staff at a factory in Lancashire head to Blackpool for the weekend. Passions arise.
It's an ok watch, I'd say it's perhaps a little slow, it does take a long time to get going. Some of the dialogue is a bit off, such as 'your daughter is dead, but don't take on.'
It's an interesting recollection on just how women were seen, and treated in society, it seems so archaic now. Yes it's about the clashes in culture, but it's more than that, it's an interesting snapshot.
Some nice filming, and some intriguing stock footage, look how many people are in that dance hall. Unfortunately the boat scene is absolutely hilarious, it just doesn't work.
Lisa Daniely is very good as Jenny, what a remarkable beauty she was. Her and Mary don't seen like factory girls, they are way too eloquent and refined.
Two people to look out for, Rita Webb, amusing as The Landlady, and of course Joan Hickson, also amusing as the bedraggled mother.
I've seen a layer version of it, and that was much better. This was ok, if a bit of a slog. 5/10.
