Yes Ealing Drama.
I get fed up when people think Ealing only did comedies or think only the comedies matter.
I enjoyed this,a story based on 4 women who work in a factory and live for dancing.
I liked the look of the film and felt it was well acted.
Diana Dors does not stand out in this for me.
I am a lover of old British films and the world they show so I liked this.
It is very gritty but it does not make the women's lives look that great either.
Some on here question that women would choose to work in a factory rather than a shop or an office but factory work might have been better paid and would require less education.
The film mentions rationing once.
People who are not history fans are surprised Britain still had rationing in 1950.
I find it interesting that the women stop work when they get married in this film,that was how it was then.
10 years later women would stop work when their children were young and often go back to work when the kids started school.
So not a great film compared with Pool Of London for example but worth watching on the old film channel we all love.
