Yet another one of British Bests
A Kind of Loving was John Schlesinger's first feature film, a 'kitchen sink' drama based on a novel by Stan Barstow. Great screenplay (co- written by Keith Waterhouse, no less) and a thoroughly accomplished performance by Alan Bates, as always.
I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone unable to appreciate a healthy doze of reality. No Hollywood glitz and glamour here.
Schlesinger treats the film subject matter (a couple in lust) with warmth, humour - and without a hint of condescension.
THIS FILM IS DEFINITELY WORTH A LOOK.
