Director Karel Reisz's adaptation of Alan Sillitoe's novel about a
hard-living factory worker and the married woman he seduces. Arthur
Seaton (Albert Finney) is a young man filled with a rage perhaps
even he doesn't fully understand. Working in the tough environment
of a Nottingham factory, he compensates for the drudgery and
discipline of his weekday life with weekends spent drinking and
womanising. His affair with a fellow factory worker's wife, Brenda
(Rachel Roberts), seems especially ill-advised - particularly when
Brenda informs him that she is pregnant with his child. With
abortion illegal at the time, Arthur and Brenda face a difficult
dilemma. Will Arthur face up to the kind of domestic
responsibilities he openly scorns in his own parents, or run harder
than ever?

In a film career that spanned more than seven decades, Freddie
Francis distinguished himself as both an award-winning
cinematographer and as a director of classic British horror films
of the 1960s and 70s. From his formative years as a clapperboy and
camera assistant in the 1930s to his work as camera operator,
director of photography, and director through the 1990s, Francis
had a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on filmmaking,
particular British cinema. Throughout his career, Francis was
honored with several BAFTA nominations and received Academy Awards
for Sons and Lovers and Glory. Freddie Francis: The Straight Story
from Moby Dick to Glory, a Memoir is a personal story by one of the
great British filmmakers of the 20th century. In this engaging
volume, Francis provides a firsthand account of working on such
classics as The Small Back Room, Beat the Devil, Room at the Top,
Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, The Elephant Man, The French
Lieutenant's Woman, Cape Fear, and The Straight Story. He also
reveals what is was like to work with some of the most significant
filmmakers on both sides of the Atlantic, including Carol Reed,
Rene Clair, Michael Powell, Emeric Pressberger, John Huston, Karel
Reisz, Robert Mulligan, Jack Clayton, Martin Scorsese, and David
Lynch. With his own brand of humor and charm, Francis recounts his
career as a director for the British horror studios Hammer Films
and its chief rival, Amicus Productions. Freddie Francis's memoir
provides an insider's view of the British Film industry from the
mid-1930s to the 1990s. As such, it will appeal to both scholars of
cinema and anyone interested in the golden age of filmmaking in the
latter half of the twentieth century.
