Saturday Night and Sunday Morning

What is the version of 'Britishness' being presented in the film?

Saturday Night, Sunday morning (1960) is a 'new wave film' which represents working class community, a more realistic view of Britain at the time. This film rejrcts certain domainat moral values of the time for example Arthur having an affair with Brenda. This film is shocking to some extent as it lacks moral values of the society. However, it is a very realistic film as it represents 'the common people' of the society.

Saturday Night, Sunday morning is set in a very typical industrial setting & explores different views of the family. Arthur played by Albert Finney is seen as a anti- hero rather than a traditional hero.
