Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960)
Albert Finney stars as the angry young man in this adaptation of a novel of the same name. Working all week in a boring factory job the main character spends his time at the weekends boozing and womanising.
The film is mainly about what happens when the protagonists life style catches up with him and serves somewhat as a coming of age tale as there are signs that he has matured and is ready to move on by the end of the film. Despite being over fifty years old now this film is still very relevant today and the situation the protagonist finds himself in is not that different to what many young people experience today.
4/5 a well made effort that is still worth watching today.
