Adapted from the phenomenally successful 1946 play, written by Robert McLeish and staged by Glasgow’s Unity Theatre, this film is a naturalistic portrait of a working-class Glasgow community. A successful artist Wullie Mutrie, played by Howard Connell, recalls his life in the tenements of the Gorbals slums in flashbacks. Screening in a 1861 A-listed building and former church we believe this is the first time the film has screened in the Gorbals since its release in 1950.

Hope to get along to see this. I believe my late uncle played the part of Wullie Mutrie well and went on to appear in a number of British films as a result. Regards. JC
That’s amazing, John. Hope you make it along.
