This 1962 “kitchen sink” drama tells the stark tale a young draftsman Vic Brown (Alan Bates) who becomes involved with secretary Ingrid Rothwell (June Ritchie), who works at the same engineering firm situated in bleak northern England. All the scenes inside the factory were filmed on location at the Mullard’s Blackburn site. The film reveals a little more about the everyday working lives of the employees at Mullard and gives a fascinating snapshot of what life must have been like in the early 1960s in Britian.
