The rest is propaganda." That's the philosophy of archetypal British "angry young man" Arthur Seaton (Albert Finney). A middle-class working stiff in a dead-end job, Arthur's principal goal in life is to survive the work week, then spend the weekend raising as much hell and drinking as much beer and other liquor as possible.

Albert Finneyn esittämä omahyväinen Arthur on Alexander De Largen ja Rent Boyn edelläkävijä työväenluokkaisena nuorena miehenä, joka haluaa elämältä muutakin kuin aamulla töihin, illalla himaan.

"A still of Albert Finney from this film was almost used for the artwork of the "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" single but Finney refused. When he changed his mind, the still was to be used for a Rough Trade re-release of the "This Charming Man" single on compact disc, but this never happened.
