Title: the loneliness of the long distance runner
Review: This film belongs to the angry young men generation of the fifties and sixties. The main character comes from a struggling middle English class whose school saw a potential to win the interscholastic marathon race and bring honor to his alma mater. Just when he led his rival towards the finish line, the character played by Tom Courtenay lingered on in the field and allowed the other runner to win the race. The dialogue is typically British. If you love English drama then you will love this film for its down-to-earth portrayal of low-income British families.
