A drama directed by Mark Herman.
A group of coal miners also have a brass band. One of the miners begins a relationship with a woman who works for the company that is evaluating the mine (which is about to be closed down), The miners are in dire financial straits and the conductor of the band begins coughing up coal dust.
What a happy flick! (This is called "sarcasm" where I come from) It was very British, with euro-slang like "bloody", "bollocks" and "bugger" replacing most of what we know as foul language. There was a lot of brass band music. Some of my favorites were the first number where the flugelhorn player joins the group and the William Tell Overture. The characters and plot were good. I'm rating it adequate.
