Hard Labour (film)
Hard Labour is a 1973 television film, directed by Mike Leigh and produced by Tony Garnett which aired as part of the BBC anthology series Play for Today. The film stars Liz Smith in her first major role. The film is the most clearly drawn in all Leighs work from the background in Higher and Lower Broughton where he grew up. Though elements of autobiography are buried in all Leighs films and plays, only Hard Labour is set in Salford, the scenes in the Stones house were shot in a house just two doors along from where the Leighs had lived in Cavendish Road.
