What happens

This Is My Street is a 1964 British black and white kitchen sink drama film directed by Sidney Hayers and starring June Ritchie, Ian Hendry, Avice Landone, Annette Andre, Mike Pratt, Philippa Gail and John Hurt. The screenplay was by Bill MacIlwraith, based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Nan Maynard. The film concerns a bored housewife living in a run-down inner city London house who begins an affair with her mother's lodger. The film is a rare non-comedy from Peter Rogers. It reunited the two leads, Ritchie and Hendry, from their previous dramedy film Live Now – Pay Later (1962). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
