Room at the Top (DVD + Blu-ray)

In post-war industrial Yorkshire, climbing Joe Lampton (Lawrence Harvey) aims to woo the boss's daughter as he attempts to reach the top of his profession. But when his working class background hampers his efforts, Joe seeks solace with the unhappily married Alice (Simone Signoret) an affair that will have dire consequences.
A mature treatment of sexuality and class, Jack Clayton's Room at the Top is a landmark of the British New Wave.
