Long Good Friday

 



This is one of the best British Gangster films you will see.  Watch this short video from the Guardian and its on TV.  The Long Good Friday, the British gangster classic starring Bob Hoskins as London kingpin Harold Shand, is getting re-released in UK cinemas this week. Peter Bradshaw explains why John Mackenzie's film, which also featured a young Helen Mirren as Harold's girlfriend, is worth a butchers this week

Very encouraging to see some of your initial ideas so far.  Why not start to explore some sources you could use to support your hypothesis.  We will discuss further next week.  I can recommend the library staff for further help dont be scared.
