Powerful drama about loyalties and the industrial workplace in
early 60s Britain. Factory worker Tom Arnold (Richard Attenborough)
does not share the same feelings as his fellow workers in a
developing industrial dispute and refuses to go on strike with
them. This results in him being 'sent to Coventry' by all
concerned, including his best friend Joe Wallace (Michael Craig).
The newspapers soon hear about this and the story becomes a matter
of national concern, with many different parties trying to use
Tom's stance to their own ends.
Triple bill of WWII movies. In 'Against the Wind' (1947), at the
height of the war, a group of men and women are gathered together
in London to be trained as spies. However, there is a traitor in
their midst. 'The Dam Busters' (1954), adapted from the book by
Paul Brickhill, is based on the true story of Dr Barnes Wallis
(Michael Redgrave), whose invention of the 'Bouncing Bomb' is
greeted with much scepticism. However, RAF Wing Commander Guy
Gibson proves the bomb's worth in a daring mission to destroy the
German Ruhr Dams. The film also stars Richard Todd and Ursula
Jeans. Docu-drama 'The Colditz Story' (1954), adapted from the book
by P.R. Reid, stars John Mills, Eric Portman and Lionel Jeffries,
and re-tells the experiences of Allied prisoners-of-war who were
held in Colditz Castle. These POWs were strictly monitored as they
were a high risk category and had constantly tried to escape
whichever prison they where previously placed in. Despite being

Williams, this is the story of British POWs trying to escape from a
