Screenwriter Bryan Forbes won a BAFTA Award and an Oscar nomination for his contribution (shared with Michael Craig and Richard Gregson). It was also entered into the 10th Berlin International Film Festival.The film's theme is every man's right to his own individuality. It also offers a portrait of industrial relations in Britain during the time and raises important issues around relationships between employees, managers and owners. The story is about a factory worker who refuses to take part in an unofficial strike and is ostracised by the other workers as a scab. The man, Tom Curtis (Richard Attenborough), faces a painful dilemma when choosing between doing what is morally right—and the choice of his fellow work colleagues—and what is bidden by the rules. He is not persuaded to participate in the strike by violence, as some of the other dissenters, but is given the silent treatment instead. The film is a food-for-thought, provoking drama portraying humanity from a social perspective of group behaviour, and what happens to the one who doesn't follow the rest. And the price that we have to pay for individual freedom. Some have raised doubts however about the politics of the film, particularly with regard to the needs or demands of the workers being trivialised. Others suggest that the film is also a reflection of British working-class values at the time, such as an "Englishman's home is his castle".The film is also notable for the early appearance of several actors who later went on to become household names, such as Oliver Reed."@en }
