Original Title:

It Always Rains On Sunday

A caustically authentic snapshot of Austerity Britain, this Ealing noir anticipated kitchen sink realism with its seething account of the rationing, racketeering and domestic tension that blighted a land supposedly fit for heroes. Grittily played, trenchantly directed and bleakly compelling.

A tough-as-boots snapshot of post-war London.
