Curator’s clip description

Barbara (Kris McQuade) asks her girlfriend’s advice in the pub – should she take Len back? We hear Len’s love letter to her on the soundtrack, as they drink. It continues as the image shifts to Newcastle, where Len (Bryan Brown) is at work, getting increasingly frustrated with his surroundings. An old timer tells him he has to learn to control his temper or he’ll get ulcers.
