Breakneck Heartbreak - Cathy Come Home

  • Cathy Come Home is a TV play from 1966 that uses a documentary style to depict the descent of a young couple trying to to find housing in post-war Britain. Directed by Ken Loach, it made use of many local actors, and the performances are very believable.
    Here I'm noting the pace of Cathy Come Home and its effect. Together with the story, the pace helps to create an intense film that proves to be tough but compelling, and although the intensity comes partly from the restricted length, is what the subject matter demands.

  • @easyandy2405

    I think one of the most interesting things about Ken Loach's directing style is that so many of his earlier films have such a direct almost documentary style to them, and it was incredibly evident in so many of his TV plays where they felt so much like a documentary and one particular movie that I watched was his adaptation of 'Up the Junction' which even had segments of people talking directly into the camera.
    It's strange as to how much he's evolved as a film-maker where there's still a very distinct element of social-realism to his dramas but there's a lot more intricate ways in which he invokes those feelings, and I think that it's pretty telling as to how much he's evolved from his teleplays to even his early theatrical films like Poor Cow and Family Life, where although there's still a heavy element of social-realism a lot of the directing style feels constrained and still focusing moreover on presenting underlying systemic issues in a way that's palatable. It's less direct than his teleplays but the elements are still as effective.

    I honestly wouldn't mind if you did an entire little series, or maybe a longer video, talking about British TV plays. Several of my favorite British films are TV plays, several of my favorite British filmmakers and actors started out by making TV plays (my favorite, Alan Clarke, made them almost exclusively), and quite a few of the older British films I most want to see - such as this one - are TV plays. Its such an interesting phenomenon to me, and right up your alley since you like to talk about both the artistic merit of movies and the industry that produces them, and both angles would be absolutely fascinating in this instance.

    The parting shot of this film 'Thank God these problems don't exist anymore' seems to overlook the crisis in housing that exists today. Council houses have been sold off and not been replaced. Waiting lists for housing have become ever longer, and we are not building houses that are needed at an affordable price! Seems to me we have not learnt very much since this film was made and moreover, this present Government shows no sign that they even care!
