""In a claustrophobic English flat on a dreary, depressing Sunday, an educated working-class antihero named Jimmie Porter raises his voice in bitterness and rage against his wife, his friend, and his whole hopeless world.""
"Actress Judi Dench co-directs this made-for television adaptation of John Osborne's ground breaking stage play - set only in the grotty bed-sit the protagonists live in. Jimmy (Kenneth Branagh), university educated articulate and poor, is angry with almost everything and everyone from the government and the church to his long suffering wife (Emma Thompson). He now works in a sweet shop, and his bitterness and frustration with life is released on his wife in the form of aggression. But when Alison's best friend Helena (Siobhan Redmond) arrives on the scene, things begin to change."
"Jimmy Porter is a man consumed by anger, and ever moment he spends in the rank, suffocating squalor of the English factory town that entraps him, propels him closer and closer towards self-annihilation. But Jimmy's savage cruelty is not limited to himself. He also hurts the ones he loves - again and again. And this time, he's about to commit an act so brutal, so destructive, that his wife Alison, her best friend Helena and even Jimmy himself may not be able to survive."
