Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 62 Group was real: militant Jewish anti-fascists who physically confronted neo-Nazis in postwar Britain when police looked away.
Rita Tushingham—who plays Nettie—starred in 1960s kitchen-sink classics; her casting bridges the era's actual cinema with this fictionalized history.
