Guinness plays a bright working class lad on the make and the film follows the various adventures he encounters en route. You jeep expecting him to turn villain but he does it all with an optimistic good nature. Glynis Johns dominates every scene she is in as you would expect.
An entertaining film and an interesting historical perspective on a long departed industrial Britain. I know Burslem slightly and it looks pretty much the same.
Its on the Youtube if you fancy it.
