The right of every individual to be different from his fellow man is the theme behind this internationally-hailed, British production. The story tells of a man's dilemma when he refused to participate in an unofficial strike, where he works. While vicious, calculated violence brings the other dissenters into line, he goes it alone and is sent to Coventry (given the silent treatment) by his fellow workers. A stirring, thought-provoking movie that portrays the human problems and high emotions generated when a man dares to act on the courage of his convictions, and dares fight to keep his individual freedom.
Leave your thoughts about The Angry Silence.
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyBefore he became director (Gandhi), Attenborough excelled as actor, here giving a powerful performance in the British Oscar-nominated drama about a man who refuses to join his mates in labor strike. |
| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsThe film has several themes whose admixture and thorough working out, possible in a novel, are less ideally suited to the cinema. To cover them all successfully would demand a grasp that is as yet beyond Bryan Forbes', the scriptwriter's, capacities. |
| The SpectatorIsabel QuiglyIn many ways the factory world isn't unlike school: there is the same sort of gang-life, close proximity, and prefectorial system; above all a similar attitude to authority and a similar hatred for anyone who appears to be on its side. |
| User ReviewDaniel PRichard Attenborough gives a powerful performance as a man who refuses to join an illegal strike at a factory. The editing here is some of the best I've ever seen, which is not bad to say it was released in 1960! |
| User ReviewGary SVery topical for the time. Richard Attenborough's so called friends and workmates turn against him because he has principles which do not go down well with some militant, self seeking, local union leaders. Can see how dictators get into power. Sums up partly what went wrong with British industry at the time: out of touch senior management and some vindictive, self seeking union leaders. |
| User ReviewPansy PWell-made British drama about a man standing up for his beliefs and the consequences it has for his family and friends. Attenborough's performance anchors the whole enterprise. |
| User ReviewKeith BAfter choosing to avoid participation in a non-union, non-sanctioned strike, Dickie gets a few bricks through his windows. A good story, but nothing that captured my imagination. |
