is on again tonight at 21:15 This Sporting Life 1963. Drama. Directed by Lindsay Anderson. Richard Harris, Rachel Roberts & Alan Badel. Despite success on the field, a rising Rugby League star senses the emerging emptiness of his life.

...Also Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. But watching that now made me realise how bad the script was - and the appalling acting as well.

Only Rachael Roberts puts in some kind of decent performance.

A brilliant film Fat Mick....one of those "kitchen sink dramas" popular in the sixties !
A Kind Of Loving, A Taste Of Honey, et al !
I believe (I know I will be corrected )that it was filmed at Wakefield Trinty ground !
