/ 1967 black and white
Writer: John Finch / Play: Walter Greenwood, Ronald Gow / Producer: Derek Bennett
Sally:
I wonder how much longer us
women’ll take to learn that
living and loving’s all a damn
swindle? Love’s all
right on the pictures, but love
on the dole ain’t quite the
same thing.
Period drama.
Hard times in Salford for the Hardcastles during the depressed
1930's. Harry Hardcastle finds himself out of a job and on the dole not only
that his girlfriend Helen is pregnant. Location filming
took place during December 1966 in Manchester. The Guardian said “The
acting in Granada’s production last night, particularly that of Anne
Stallybrass as Sally and Ronald Cunliffe as Harry, her brother, had the
same freshness and unselfconsciousness which distinguished Granada’s
DH Lawrence series.”
