      • Trivia
        According to Terence Stamp, the film was mostly improvised and first takes were always used. Two cameras filmed simultaneously to capture the spontaneity of the performances.
      • Goofs
        The apostrophe is missing from the caption "At Aunt Emms.".
      • Quotes

        Joy: Yeah, don't forget to get me some nice sovereigns, gold ones.

        Dave: Oh, I'll try love. You know, not always made to order.

      • Alternate versions
        The BBFC website states that the original version had some sex references that were cut before its release in the 1960s. http://www.bbfc.co.uk/education-resources/student-guide/bbfc-history/1960s

      Social reflection
      Not a film of entertainment, but of real lives & limited ambition for the working class in 60's. Enjoyable because of my upbringing, not sure it'd work for most people. Typical Loach. Full of TV actors/actresses of 70's/80's/90's.
