I really enjoyed this movie, even though I didn't grow-up in Bolton, Manchester life was O so similar. The father of the house 'Rafe Crompton' played by James Mason, is a typical example of what the head of Northern families we're all about. The Mother,(Mother) as referred, played by Diana Coupland, is a typical stay at home housewife looking after her grown up kids. It's quite unbelievable that at their age, they're all still living at home. Rafes' character is old fashioned and quite domineering (due to his own upbringing and suffering through his families relentless debts). However,It is a good loving home, but Rafe has lost touch with changing times. His suffering wife has to juggle the housekeeping to make the books tally, as Rafe takes care of all the families finances. I love this movie, as its nostalgia brings back loving memories of days gone by. Times have surely changed with regards to the family unit...Watching this Classic Depiction of Northern Life, keeps the good Ol' days alive...
A fab' late 60s early 70s Movie, it Should go down as a British Classic...
A Great Supporting cast.
