DaveH Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Looked at the list of films made in Sheffield and noticed looks and smiles was not on the list, directed by ken loach Welcome to Sheffield History Gary Green and thanks for bringing this film to our attention. Like SteveHB it is a film which had passed me by and I was unaware of. Some good scenes of Sheffield in the 1980's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Remember this one well. A dark depressing film but kind of sums up the hopeless feeling a lot of us had in the early eighties very well. If i'm not mistaken the line "It is not a good time to be young and hopeful" is from the book. That was written on the bus stop at campo lane for decades...always made me smile when I saw that...

Calvin72 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Just watching this on YouTube. I thought knew Ken Loach's stuff, but this is new to me too. Great shots of the city - you'll find lots to like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyO Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I'd not heard of this film until now, I will give it a watch, I came across this site with some stills from the film while searching the net, it might be of interest... http://www.reelstreets.com/films/looks-and-smiles/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arif Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I notice Tony Pitts in the cast. Was he from Sheffield? I always remember him from Emmerdale Farm when he played the part of Archie and he often wore a Wednesday tracksuit top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
