THIS SPORTING LIFE

GB
1963
2hrs 14mins
Dir: Lindsay Anderson
Starring: Richard Harris and Rachel Roberts

A miner becomes a successful Rugby League player but finds his romantic life is not as successful

This classic feature film is based on the 1960 novel of the same name by David Storey. It includes a scene where a drunk Richard Harris staggers through a goods yard at night. Open mineral wagons and box vans are visible, and although the location of this scene is not known, it was probably shot in the Leeds / Wakefield area.
