Once A JoIIy Swagman is a British classic reIeased on DVD for the first time. Centred around the sport of speedway racing (and filmed at New Cross, home to speedway from 1934 to 1963) this British gem captures genuine speedway history and hi-lights the popuIarity of the sport at that time. Starring a briIliant young and upcoming British star cast: Dirk Bogarde, Thora Hird, Sid James and Bill Compo Owen, Once A JoIly Swagman bursts an authentic touch of nostaIgia and captures the post war spirit.

As he moves into a new and exciting sociaI circIe, BiII is quick to forget his roots and his girlfriend Pat. After a sequence of quarrels with Dotty, Bill soon becomes aware of the shalIowness of his existence forcing him to face a dilemma..... carry on racing and loose the woman he truly Ioves, or marry Pat and leave racing behind. |
