Setting behind the bridge. Albert Finney 1936-2019

A simple shot of the sun setting behind the Humber Bridge . It was taken on the North Bank of the Humber looking inland

 

Dedicated to Mr Albert Finney who recently died . A great English actor who in the 1960 film Saturday Night and Sunday morning finally busted the myth that we all talked like the cast of Brief Encounter . Finally the camera went into a place where people actually worked. Nottingham is not actually in the North but people in the south thought i it was and it looked scary.

 

I have no idea if “ Saturday Night and Sunday morning “ crossed the Atlantic it might have been a little too realistic in 1960 .

 

I attach a youtube video of the first two minutes of the movie . In them Albert Finney who was playing Arthur Seaton says two unforgettable lines

 

“ Don't let the bast**** grind you down “ and “ What I was out for was a good time all the rest is propaganda “

 

Goodnight Albert
