Whats he angry with? What have you got?
Much like an English version of 'Johnny' from 'The Wild One', Jimmy Porter is looking for a cause to fight in 1950's Britain, and unable to find one, becomes an armchair politician, exacting his rage and frustration on all around him.
Richard Burton was made for this role as the fire breathing, hilariously funny Jimmy Porter and I cannot hold back the tears at the end of this timeless classic.
