This Is My Street

First off, anyone reading this , do not be under any impression that I have any regrets about my London younger days.

This is an accurate portrayal of how men treated women also how some women often lead men along a path of intimate desire , often ending with no result. Added to which, Harry's ( Ian Hendry ) were as predatory for anything lacking responsibility , so you can certainly discount marriage .And if the woman became pregnant , the man would go out of his way to ensure his water tight disappearance .All that said, many women got taken in , first by good looks, which Harry certainly has and a man that was bold and forward in his sometimes forceful and suggestive words and body language . All these folk, women and men were unique to 1950s to 1970s cultural British attitudes. The well known early film with Michael Caine ' ALFIE ' remains as powerful today as it was then, albeit only dealing with one male , one female as opposed to multiple ladies and gents in this narrative. Take note, the man always drives an expensive , often flashy car, especially Harrys imported American , which in those days was referred to as ' very well heeled man ' Best Italian suites, and only the best shoes silk ties and best luxury cars .In some viewers minds , one critical point are the slightly posh accents which would not be the case for people living in a rather run down London suburb , apart from the son, , whose accent is noticeably at a lower level ! Also, everyone is well dressed . When do theses people go to work and where does their income come from for all their trappings ? An interesting film, although i noticed a number of gaps in the narrative ? The bottom line of my first sentence is due to the fact I never fitted in with these characters, bearing no grudge, as my cars were always ordinary, and my dress sense casual , with no expensive shoes.
