young writer's is apparently a
contagious emotion that af-
fects youthful actors equally, if
not worse.
This certainly is the effect
Of young Finney'S portrait of
the films hero. He is remorse-
lessly bent upon filling his Sat-
urday nights and Sunday
mornings with as much of
vindictive senSuality as his
limited imaginative resources
permit. Nottingham's murk
provides him with bars where
he can swill grog and meet
vulnerable married women.
His preference among the
latter is a frustrated attractive
companion played with equal
dreary disillusion d ment by
Rachel Roberts. They may not
be good for each other but
they are the best either can
come up with, at least until the
single girl turns up in the per-
son of Shirley Anne Field.
Miss Fields girl is not angry.
She is, instead, a combination
of the reconciled and the pre-
datory. What she wants is q
husband and if Finney's lad is
cagey and aloof, he is avail
able and on the terms that will
lead to a cheap cottage in 4

repeat the futility he so
loatheS in his father.

for the best English picture
of 1860. It carries an echo of
Room at The Top" but falls
short Of the dramatic wallop of
that picture, a common fate of
echoic wares.
Alan Sillitoe is the author of
the new films basic novel and
its screenplay. There is never
a moment of doubt in the key
performance Of young Albert
Finney that both are furious
young men. The source of their
common wrath Is that Finney
is a. muscular young man re-
dueed to factory labor five days
R,week to provide himself with
the relaxations Of grog and sex
over the week ends.
When even these pail, as they
do, Finney'S young man broodS
on the banks of an industrial
city'S river with a fishing rod
In his hand and a leaden load
in his heart. Into this dreary
present, he reads future even
more deadly, one robbed of the
youthful energy which now
drives him into strange beds
and lifeless neighborhood pubs.
Saturday Night and Sun
day Morning" is savagely de-
tailed in it's narrative and
photographed with trash can
area realism.
AS directed by Karel Reisz, 1t
tolerates no moment of pre-
tense that its hero is recon-
ciled to his fate. He loatheS his
home environment. his mother
Slaving in a tenement. his
father opiating futility by
watching the "telly." He hates
his supervisors, scorns his fel-
low workers, works off part OF
his contempt for the world by
putting a dead rat on the
work bench of a woman worker
on the production line.
Life, to Finney, is something
to get even with and even
though he does not appreciate
it, he has been endowed with
a certain amount of guile in
achieving this end.
This manifestS itself chiefly
in his feminine associations
Not for him are single girls,
They are obsessed by marriage
the worst of life's traps in
Finney's book Of values. Much
safer are liaSons with attrac-
tive married women who arc
ready for a fling that might
ease their own boredom.
Unfortunately, however, it is
Sillitoe's hero's destiny tc
learn that even these can be
got into trouble. And, worse
that there is ultimately nc
way for the most artful anC
determined young man to eS-
cape an attractive single girl.
