About this product
Product Information
CATHY COME HOME is an early example of director Ken Loach's pioneering realist style. Originally broadcast in 1966 as part of the BBC's 'Wednesday Play' series, the film tells the tale of a young family who find themselves in a chain of events that will eventually leave them homeless. Reaction to the first showing was so strong that questions were asked in Parliament (eventually contributing to a change in the law) and a new charity, Shelter, was formed to help the homeless.Product Identifiers

Remember you are only two wrong turns from being homeless
Remember you are only two wrong turns from being homeless. This timeless classic shows how a series of events can lead anyone to becoming without anywhere to live. If you want to be entertained then this is not for you. If you want a thought provoking film that will leave you in tears then this is your movie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A sad portrayal of life for some in the 60's
BBC play based on the horrendous trials of a young family seeking accommodation in the 60's. I just hope nobody has to suffer that now in the 21st century UK, though sadly I'm sure it still does.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Still has impact
Still worth a watch although showing it's age. I'm not overly keen on all the close camera work, but the story still resonates today and is genuinely moving.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
