An artist remembers his youth growing up in a Glasgow tenement
Although it will be of almost no interest to anyone, this piece of social realism based on a 1946 play by a left-wing Glasgow theatre group is still a curiosity. It’s just a shame that we’ll probably never know why such a parochial drama by an unknown playwright was deemed worthy of filming. A tram is visible during one of the early shots of the Gorbals area.
