Plus, what's considered as 'well known', in that respect, is simply down to what you've personally experienced and are aware of.

Maybe a bit too British working class for your tastes.. Was a boy at school who kept a small hawk. Well a kestrel I think. He was bullied at school and home..
Good film, and you'd enjoy it
Lol, I might well do, so I'll check it out. Are you insinuating, though, that I'm some kind of posh boy?:D
Marco.
P.S Just noticed that I was only five when it was released in the UK, so no wonder I'm unaware of it!
Posher than Billy casper in the film lol. You'll like the footie coach/teacher
Talking of 'British working class' films, I saw 'A Taste of Honey' (1961) with Rita Tushingham in her debut role a couple of days ago. I had forgotten how powerful and daring this film was - especially concerning homosexuality as prtrayed by the excellent Murray Melvin.Quote:

Lol... Think I'll stick with 'Gregory's Girl', which has similarities and was from my era!:eyebrows:
