1960S Film Title Help !!

[loulou111]

There is a black and white film set in the 1960s. The scene I remember is a single mum pushing a pram with a another small child on a railway platform. Police and social services come and take the kids off her and she screams at them. What is the film called please?

Cathy Come Home?

Poor Cow?

Poor cow? Ken Loach film 1967

Pipped at the post!

I think it is most likely Cathy Come Home. I believe there is only one child in Poor Cow.

Interesting that Carol White was the star in both suggestions.

Those 'Kitchen Sink' dramas were quite powerful films in their day. Up The Junction and A Taste Of Honey were two more i recall watching.

[Tilly2]

Not a kitchen sink drama but I loved 'Whistle Down the Wind.'

Filmed in and around my 'patch' Tilly. Fell in love with Miss Mills, when i watched it as a young lad (6 or 7 year old) :-)

‘Thats not Jesus’

that is the final scene of Cathy Come Home,
and I thought it was filmed in Waterloo

It was a television film and the first to be reviewed on another tv channel

Poor Cow was a look alike, and also had John Bindon ( Princess Margaret's well endowed male friend

Who was also convicted of murder in a Putney Boat Club Bar I seem to recall.

died of HIV but was not gay
like Princess Margt - she wasnt gay either and didnt die from HIV.

by and large seems a particularly unpleasant man
