Version 2 of Stanley Houghton's classic drama of the consequences of a mill girl's dirty weekend with the boss' son. Director Maurice Elvey was a shoddy worker during the sound era, churning out films as if he was more concerned with doing it on time than with doing it properly. But there was a time when he cared - a time when he could make wonderful films like Hindle Wakes. The first half takes advantage of the mobility of the camera during the silent era, first showing us the working lives of the characters and then showing the fun of the Blackpool holiday. If you want to know what Blackpool was like in the twenties then this is the place to find out.
