This Sporting Life 1963 Directed by Lindsay Anderson
He only believed in strength - love was a word he hadn't the power to say.
In Northern England in the early 1960s, Frank Machin is mean, tough and ambitious enough to become an immediate star in the rugby league team run by local employer Weaver.
