Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Greenock was a shipbuilding town in collapse during the 1980s; the film captures Thatcher-era Scottish working-class despair rarely seen outside Ken Loach's work.
Director Sandy Johnson later became a prolific TV director on shows like 'Shameless' and 'Benidorm'—this was his raw, promising debut.
