Great movie about bad housing situation in England and drama of common family

Cathy Come Home

Release: Nov 15, 1966

From the BBC's influential 'Wednesday Play' series. This tells the bleak tale of Cathy, who loses her home, husband and eventually her child through the inflexibility of the British welfare system. A grim picture is painted of mid-sixties London, realistic, but the viewer cannot but realise that a political point is being made. One of the consequences of this film was the formation of the housing charity 'Shelter'.

We have been asked by distributors in France, Belgium and the Netherlands to block this film from these territories. We sincerely apologize and hope to resolve the matter soon.
