1962: BAFTA Awards: Best promising newcomer (Tom Courtenay)
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It's provocative and enjoyable, but not a classic."
-
"The performance of Tom Courtenay and the imaginative, if sometimes overfussy, direction of Tony Richardson, plus some standout lensing by Walter Lassally makes this a worthwhile pic."
