Wakefield Trinity - was that where some scenes were filmed for the Lindsey Anderson movie "This Sporting Life"?
Circa 1963?
Memory is bad today - can picture the movie and the lead actor. But not his name. Wasn't Albert Finney, was it? _________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/derby1884/sets/ |

If memory serves me correctly, it was Richard Harris and the crowd scenes were at Wakefield AND Halifax....  |

Richard Harris - of course!
His character in that movie had an affair with the character played by Rachel Roberts who was often in Anderson's movies and, in more than one of them, played a character who committed suicide.
She also played the head of the school in "Picnic At Hanging Rock" later on - who also took her own life.
Then, in real life, the actress herself committed suicide after a marriage break-up...
Life imitating art. Makes you think, eh? _________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/derby1884/sets/ |
