Tennessee Buck is a man for hire whose job is to help a wealthy couple get their rocks off on a hunting expedition, but things go wrong…terribly wrong!

England's New Wave @ National Gallery of Art
(there were no you tube clips for this but there are 2 amazing songs that match the titles, so you get those instead)

Look Back In Anger, 2pm
Directed by Tony Richardson (husband to Vanessa Redgrave and father to Natasha and Joely). Set in the cramped working-class midlands flat of one Jimmy Porter, John Osborne’s seminal 1956 play was the inspiration for the first of the new wave of revolutionary British realist films of the 1950s. Richard Burton is Porter, raging and rebelling against society’s hypocrisy but unleashing most of his frustrations on his long-suffering wife. Together with John Osborne’s stage version, Look Back in Anger came to represent a new vision in British theater and film.

Room at the Top, 4.30pm
Working-class born and bred Laurence Harvey sets his sights on the boss’s daughter and her social milieu but finds himself diverted instead by mature and earthy Simone Signoret (in an Oscar-winning performance for her). Bradford writer John Braine’s 1957 angry young man novel was a piquant account of northern small town life with its fixations on money and class.
