Audience Member Excellent drama of an overly shy man who has come down to London from Manchester for the cup final but manages to hook up with a stripper, but he wants to know the lady rather than the obvious things on offer. The dialogue between the two leads is outstanding in content and delivery. A triumph of British cinema. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
