A pesar de encontrarnos ya a tantos años vista de su realización, un título tan representativo como el presente (avanzadilla del "Free Cinema" británico), no me da la sensación de que haya perdido vigencia en la actualidad, como he leído en alguna parte.

Morrissey's influences (120 movies items)

"In a interview given to Australian radio in 1985 Morrissey said: "But yet from I think 'Room At The Top' and 'Saturday Night, Sunday Morning' onwards, people were just allowed to be real instead of being glamorous and Hollywoodian." "
