The Depression hit the poorest people hardest, as this film in the series recalling America in the 30s reveals. Tenant farmers starved while their landlords received government aid. As the agricultural poor organised, lynchings became commonplace. In the industrial centres too, trade unions began to attract recruits. The issue became the freedom of the workers versus the freedom of the employers, and confrontation sometimes led to death at the factory gate. Director/Producer Dante J James

Michael Gambon
(Maigret, The Singing
Detective) plays
Archie Rice , the role made famous on stage (1957) and on film
(1960) by his illustrious first mentor, Laurence Olivier. Gambon was 23 and still working as a toolmaker when he was auditioned by the great man for a role in the National
Theatre's opening production of Hamlet, and cast as spear-carrier.
A year later, on Gambon's opening night as Othello in Birmingham, Olivier sent him a good luck telegram: "The other actors thought I'd sent it myself," Gambon recalls.
As the central character in John Osborne 's drama, he plays a drunken, lecherous, egotistical vaudevillian whose act is on the downward slope.
