Poor Cow (1967)

Poor Cow (1967)
London in the 1960's: this is an account of a young woman trying to cope while her husband, a small time thief, is in jail. Clutching at any slight chance of happiness, she has a promiscuous relationship with his best friend which in turn leads to heart breaking consequences.
Poor Cow is a poignant, controversial slice of raw social realism, and in true Loach style, is an imaginative exploration of the thin line separating fiction and real-life.
