Cycling In Cinema: Saturday Night and Sunday Morning



Saturday Night and Sunday Morning is the first novel by British author Alan Sillitoe and won the Author's Club First Novel Award.

It was adapted by Sillitoe into a 1960 film starring Albert Finney, directed by Karel Reisz.

Arthur is 22 years old, works at a lathe, machining bottom bracket spindles, at the Raleigh bicycle factory in Nottingham with his friend Jack. Arthur keeps his mind occupied during the mundane and repetitive work through a mental collage of imagined fantasies, and memories of the past.
