The same thing happens, though less intensely, in the case of Actress Roberts. Both these performances are, in the deep est sense of the word, authentic. At its best moments, the film is authentic too, a stirring tribute to the yeoman spirit that still seems to survive in the "dark Satan ic mills" and redbrick eternities of working life in England. After 900 years, if Sillitoe is right, the Saxons are still unconquered.
