Synopsis:

The legendary John Schlesinger made his feature film directorial debut with this bittersweet and beautifully acted drama about a young draughtsman, Vic Brown (Alan Bates), whose life comes apart at the seams when he begins a relationship with typist Ingrid Rothwell (June Ritchie). Ingrid falls pregnant, and thanks to the interference of their friends, neighbours, and - worst of all - her tyrannical mother (Thora Hird), they are forced into marriage. Ingrid's subsequent miscarriage and the strain of living with the mother-in-law from hell, means that the relationship quickly sours. But the couple decide to persevere in the hope of finding 'a kind of loving'.

A young man, inching his way up from working-class traditions via a white-collar job, finds himself trapped by the frightening reality of his girlfriend's pregnancy and is forced into marrying her and moving in with his mother-in-law due to a housing shortage in their Northern England town.

In a dreary northern English town, a draughtsman and a co-worker must marry when she becomes pregnant. Together they persevere to enjoy 'a kind of loving.'
