Poor Cow**
GB 1967. Anglo Amalgamated/Vic/Fenchurch. 101m.
A young mother has to fend for herself when her crooked husband is sent to prison, as also is his best friend with whom she has fallen in love.
This director's first foray into cinema after some acclaimed fly-on-the-wall TV dramas; the approach here is much the same despite some occasionally wooden moments, with the extra permissiveness that cinema allows for - which even for the time is shockingly down-to-earth, but entertaining in the Loach style that is now familiar.
Written by: Ken Loach, Nell Dunn, from her novel.
Producer: Joseph Janni.
Director: Ken Loach.
Starring: Carol White, Terence Stamp, John Bindon, Queenie Watts, Kate Williams.
Photography: Brian Probyn.
Music: Donovan, and others.
Editing: Roy Watts.
