In 1834, in the farming town of Tolpuddle, England, heartless landowner James Frampton (Robert Stevens) forces his impoverished laborers to work under harsh conditions and for long hours. The workers, under the leadership of minister George Loveless (Robin Soans) and organizer Mr. Pitt (Michael Hordern), establish a labor union to negotiate for fairer wages.

Critic Reviews for Comrades

All Critics (3) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (1)

Douglas wasn't afraid of going against the naturalist grain, placing himself closer in scope and sympathy to the cinema of continental Europe than to British social realism.
