WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

elvircorhodzic Saturday NIGHT AND Sunday MORNING is a drama about a young and rebellious machinists, who shows a form of self-destructive behavior. Film is an adaptation of the 1958 novel of the same name by Alan Sillitoe.The main protagonist is a tough and robust worker at a Nottingham factory. He has a rebellious and somewhat cheeky attitude toward the lives of people around him. He is a diligent worker, but he spends his wages at weekends on drinking and having a good time. A wife of his older colleague is a his "pastime" during the weekend. However, he begins a more normal relationship with a beautiful single woman closer to his age. Problems start when his older mistress gets pregnant and demands his help in terminating the unwanted pregnancy...The main protagonist is a grouchy and skeptical young man. This is perhaps a disease of a young working class in industrial zones and traditional societies. The courage and dignity are, in some way, shaken in this film. Such relations seem impressive in an explicit and intimate story. A young man is faced with life's temptations. A solid relationship between people does not exist in this movie. It all boils down to a simple pleasure, as a form of escape from the loneliness and frustration. The word, responsibility, becomes very important.Albert Finney as Arthur Seaton is an unrealized hothead, which further emphasizes the rebellion in his character. Rachel Roberts as Brenda is a tragic character. In addition to her arrogance and shameless sexual relationship, Brenda is a reflection of an unfortunate women in a failed marriage.Shirley Anne Field (Doreen) is a quiet and beautiful girl, who is ready for marriage. Norman Rossington (Bert) is Arthur's faithful companion and sincere friend. Bryan Pringle (Jack) is a quite reserved Brenda's husband.Mr. Reisz has managed to make a credible drama based on realistic life situations in which there are no winners or losers.

SineM SNSM Arthur is represented as a "angry young man". For instance he rejects normal lifestyle; in one scene he says "whatever people say i am, thats what I'm not". He does morally wrong actions and attitudes. He has an affair with an married lady; which was shocking during 1960s; later in the movie it is revealed that Brenda is pregnant which causes her to think about abortion which is also seems shocking during 1960s; for instance, the movie was rated x due to the fact that there were shocking activities happening. He commonly lies; for instance, in one scene with Brenda he says "I always was a liar, a good'un and all". He does not respect his elders; in one specific scene he shoots Mrs.Bull and in other scene he calls her "fat". He seems dominant; for instance in one scene with Brenda he says "..I don't want anybody to teach me either". In the end of the movie, he throws stones at the new terrace houses; this proves that he rejects new lifestyle and instead prefers the old lifestyle. After the 1960s, yobs subculture appeared (young men with their own style and attitude); Arthur is an early representation of a yob. I really appreciate the film due to the different ways they represent the character Arthur. I think Albert Finney does great acting; his expressions and actions are realistic.

moonspinner55 Atmospheric, startlingly mature adaptation of Alan Sillitoe's novel (by the author) regarding Arthur Seaton, a 20-ish working-class Brit employed at the local factory and still living at home, who is 'knocking about' with a co-worker's wife while despairing against marriage (and the TV-watching rut his parents have slipped into). Just as he begins courting a local lovely with mother-troubles of her own, he finds out his married playmate is pregnant. Prickly film has fine moments of both tension and schoolboy humor, propelled by Albert Finney's flawless central performance. Highly-influential in its time, and still powerful today, the picture employs a confrontational tone with acerbic dialogue, never lapsing into fake pathos or dreary ruminations. It is ripe and alert and alive. *** from ****

Chase_Witherspoon Somewhat gloomy look at working class local lad (Finney) thumbing his nose at the establishment, living a hand-to-mouth existence with every discretionary penny sunk into booze-fuelled antics with local women and the occasional dust-up. There's no aspirations other than the simple pleasures of a hard-earned weekend bender. His hell-raising days appear to be drawing to an abrupt and premature end when his infidelity with a co-worker's wife (Roberts) results in an unwanted pregnancy. But there's soon the promise of new love (Field) and all the spontaneity and cheerful ignorance that he craves.Well photographed, the post war images of a semi-industrial England paints a vivid picture of the times, perfectly matched by Finney's rough diamond, an alpha male adored by all the women, morally and ethically in tune, but characteristically flawed. He totally immerses himself in the role, and his performance is underscored by the tragic Roberts character, forced to endure the ignominy of an abortion, along with the pain of rejection. One of the highlights in a succession of landmark British films that broke the mould, opening the door for the new wave of talent to emerge (Finney, Courtenay, Bates, Stamp, Hemmings etc) and forever change the British film landscape. Highly provocative subject matter was daring in its day and the open-ended resolution is by no means a bright one, offering no false promises that betray the context. But unlike its central character, the audience will be rewarded with this gritty, realistic drama of substance.
