Sparrows Can't Sing, directed by Joan Littlewood and starring Barbara Windsor (Carry on Camping) in her BAFTA-nominated role as Maggie, is a 1963 kitchen sink classic filmed in the East End of London.
There's panic in Stepney; from the stalls in the street to the bar of the Red Lion the word goes out: tearaway Charlie Gooding (James Booth) is back from two years at sea, and on the way home to his old stamping ground. The trouble is that Charlie isn't up to date with the news.
