Scottish Razor Gang Culture
Starring blues singer Frankie Miller this is the story of Greenock razor gangs and specifically of one man's life of alcohol and violence over a twenty-four hour period.
A violent and yet strangely most endearing piece, in some of it's most haunting sequences seems to play like a Clydeside Martin Scorcese piece, Frankie Miller expertly capturing the slow, unflustered menace of the true scottish hard-man.
The film was also notable for brilliant supporting performances from a then unknown Gregor Fisher (Rab C Nesbit), the flamboyant Ken Hutchison, comedian Hector Nicol and Jean Taylor Smith. -
