Big Bad Wolf Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 i have 2 dvd's of bygone sheffield and run for roughly 1 hour each one is narrated by capstick and the other by gerry kersey. Any chance we'll see them on youtube or should I stop being tight and buy them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that film, set in the 70's or very early 80's? I thought it was a Barry Hines (Kes, Threads) film and definately a rare movie. I remember it being very realistic as if the camera was just following the actors around in everyday life. If anyone knows it let us know, in the meantime I'll see if I can find it.

Billy Casper Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 The film i think you mean is called Looks and Smiles and it was made in 1981 and the story is all about a young lad leaving school and trying to find a job. His best mate in it is Tony Pitts who played Archie in Emmerdale. It's a Ken Loach film and it is only available from Germany! The DVD box is written in German etc but it plays in English too.
