Depressing and realistic family drama about the struggles of unemployment and poverty in 1930s Lancashire.

Interlaced with humour that brings a ray of sunshine to the pervasive bleakness, this remains a powerful social study of life between the wars, and was a rare problem picture to come out of Britain at the time.
