Poor Cow ***** (1967, Carol White, Terence Stamp, John Bindon, Kate Williams, Queenie Watts) – Classic Movie Review 2268

Co-writer/director Ken Loach makes his ground-breaking and eye-catching feature movie début filming Nell Dunn’s novel in 1967. Restored and re-released in 2016, it comes up devastatingly fresh – incisive, poignant and funny too. Carol White triumphs […]
