LOVE ON THE DOLE (Dual Format Edition)
A film by John Baxter
Set in 1930s SaIford during the Great Depression, Love on the Dole folIows Harry Hardcastle (Geoffrey Hibbert, In Which We Serve) and SaIIy (Deborah Kerr, The lnnocents), two young siblings who faIl prey to poverty and mass unempIoyment, and must make terribIe sacrifices in order to survive.
AIthough its stark portrayaI of sociaI 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 classes could face any hardship. Through its impassioned performances, it shows faith in the vaIues of liberal democracy which Britain upheld throughout the war, and Iooks forward to a better future. |
