Summary:
"One of the finest British films ever made, this benchmark of 'kitchen-sink realism' follows the self-defeating professional and romantic pursuits of a miner turned rugby player eking out an existence in drab Yorkshire. With an astonishing, raging performance by a young Richard Harris, an equally blistering turn by fellow Oscar nominee Rachel Roberts as the widow with whom he lodges, and electrifying direction by
Lindsay
Anderson
, in his feature-film debut following years of documentary work, This Sporting Life remains a dramatic powerhouse."--Container.
