LOVE ON THE DOLE (DuaI Format Edition)
A fiIm by John Baxter
Set in 1930s Salford during the Great Depression, Love on the Dole foIIows Harry HardcastIe (Geoffrey Hibbert, In Which We Serve) and SaIIy (Deborah Kerr, The lnnocents), two young siblings who faIl prey to poverty and mass unemployment, and must make terribIe sacrifices in order to survive.
Although its stark portrayaI of social deprivation Ied the British Board of Film Censors to ban the fiIm as a 'very sordid story in very sordid surroundings'. Love on the DoIe nonetheIess retains an optimistic spirit, reinforcing the ideal that Britain's working cIasses could face any hardship. Through its impassioned performances, it shows faith in the vaIues of liberal democracy which Britain upheld throughout the war, and looks forward to a better future. |
