3 Clear Sundays Ken Loach, 1965
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149560/
Director: Ken Loach Writer: Jimmy O'Connor Cinematographer: Tony Imi Film Editor: Pam Bosworth Original Music: Nemone Lethbridge, Harry Pitch Producer: James MacTaggart Production Company: BBC Country & Year: UK, 1965 Runtime: 85 min Language: English
Cast: Tony Selby, Rita Webb, Finnuala O'Shannon, Dickie Owen, Will Stampe, John Blythe, Bernard Shine.
Quote: | Taking its title from a Home Office ruling that three clear Sundays were to elapse between a sentence of death and execution, James O'Connor's "emotional autobiography" tells the story of Danny, a young prisoner put up to attack a warder by two old lags. When the warden dies, Danny is left to await and contemplate the ultimate punishment.
Jimmy O'Connor's moving, warm and, at times, humorous play was based on his own harrowing experiences. He had been sentenced to death for murder only to be reprieved two days before he was due to hang. Shown in the BBC's The Wednesday Play series in 1965, the broadcast was watched by 11 million viewers and boosted the abolitionist lobby during the then raging debate over capital punishment. |

Quote: | Today Ken Loach is an internationally feted filmmaker. But he was also once a prophet in his own country. Working with a generation of radicals, he excelled at what became known as the drama-documentary - a TV genre that was socially engaged, aesthetically experimental and politically influential. It made working class people the subject of public service broadcasting. This essential collection has many of the key works which now deserve the widest rescreening for their enduring relevance and artistic courage. [socialistreview.org.uk] |
