Storyline
The first part of Bill Douglas' influential trilogy harks back to his impoverished upbringing in early-'40s Scotland. Cinema was his only escape - he paid for it with the money he made from returning empty jam jars - and this escape is reflected most closely at this time of his life as an eight-year-old living on the breadline with his half-brother and sick grandmother in a poor mining village. Written by J Ward

Trivia
A colour print was accidentally made in 1993 to tie in with the launch of the book "Bill Douglas: A Lanternist's Account". The lab were told to make a new print, but did not know they had to print the film in black and white. The colour version was screened once only, in Edinburgh. See more »
