Depressing and realistic family drama about the struggles of unemployment and poverty in 1930s Lancashire. The 20-year-old Kerr gives an emotionally charged performance as Hardcastle one of the cotton workers trying to make life better. 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.
