Description
1960s British drama which centres on Colin Smith (Tom Courtenay), a cynical working class youth, who finds himself in a boys’ reformatory for robbing a bakery. The governor in charge of the reform school (Michael Redgrave) preaches to his inmates that exercise and physical challenge can permanently destroy a boy’s rebellious streak. But Colin is fortunate enough to be on the boss’s good side due to his natural running prowess and is offered the chance to train for a race against the local public school. Tensions build as the big day approaches and after a lot of time spent thinking on his lonely runs, Colin might just reconsider his naturally rebellious instincts.
