Jimmy Porter barely ekes out a living running a candy stall by day and playing jazz trumpet by night. Although he usually takes his frustrations out on his emotionless wife, Jimmy's scathing tongue and self-loathing seems destined to destroy everything.

Set in the UK at the dawn of the 60's social unrest, this savage morality tale spawned the phrase angry young man.
