A Kind of Loving

Film Description

Schlesinger's first feature, adapted from the novel by Stan Barstow by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall. Set in an industrial Lancashire town, this is the bittersweet tale of a young draughtsman who falls for the typist working in the same factory, gets her preganant and is trapped into marriage. Despite the circumstances, they try to find a way of living together, working their way towards 'a kind of loving'.

Sharply observed in documentary style and with plenty of salty northern dialogue.
