There was an early 70's film I cant recall the name... tough guy comes out of jail... a few people want him dead but he keeps beating them all up!

Great thread, thanks for all this.

For anyone interested, if you go to Bowlers Car Boot sale on Sundays (Mods: hope I'm alright putting this, I'm not involved nor trying to advertise but if it's wrong please feel free to delete or modify) there is a large stall there every week with a massive range of old films on DVD (burnt to recordable DVD's). I've picked up Love on The Dole (mainly in old Salford) and Hobson's Choice. Reasonable rates too. I was thinking of trying to pick up other Manchester / Salford based films as I like watching them and its a great way to show my daughter how much Manchester has changed. Can't believe I didn't think of a Taste of Honey and I didn't realise Billy Liar was Manchester shot so that's tomorrow morning's mission sorted.

I'm pretty sure that Billy Liar was filmed in Nottingham.

I remember Yanks being filmed as if it were yesterday. A mate and me were in a pub in Hyde, and got chatting to an American in full GI kit (a sergeant). Probably one of the main blokes in the film, but I've a crap memory for faces so I've no idea who he was, except he was a really nice guy who liked English beer.

Thanks HB - I've just re-read the earlier post and realised that the films quoted were in reference to O Levels rather than Manchester.
