Alma Reville, Guy Bolton. Robert Newton is a violent drunk and Kathleen Harrison the pregnant wife he dumps in this grim melodrama. The twenty-somethings who were the target audience for this film were the kids who grew up with the Flash Gordon series. The arty gits who made this film probably weren't allowed out to the cinema from their posh public schools. It gets worse by using the most atrocious Liverpool accents ever heard.
