★★★★★ · Carol Reed Director of The Third Man. · appledecca · 2010-11-15
A totally different style of movie but just as watchable as the Third Man. Much more than unrequited love...Thank you to uploader. It will stay with me because of its gritty charisma.

★★★★★ · greatest pit movie... · cashdog669 · 2011-12-09
whata great movie of the old pits made in my very own village of great clifton, workington, cumbria. shame william street which is the street mainly used in this where everyone lived hasnt got houses on both sides anymore BUT i will say the school is still stood however the school was closed from being a school when i was about 3-4 years which was about 1993-4. it has been turned into a beautiful house which it wont get torn down for many of years to come.
★★★★ · One Of The Best......... · workingtonlad · 2013-10-21
....films of its type you will see. Similar to the better known "How Green Was My Valley" but somehow, more realistic, grittier and true to life. filmed on location in and around Workington in Cubria, there are many scenes that Workingtonians of a certain age wlll no doubt recognise, Workington Main Station, Central Station, Siddick pit, Northside, and Derwent Crossings to name but a few.This is one of the most underrated films ever made, a must see.
