What could be more topical in today’s recession hit Britain than this feel good story of unemployed men in the 1980s seeking to regain their dignity by whopping it all out for the ladies of the working men’s clubs of Sheffield? Naked male flesh, an unexpected coming out story and a great sound track including Donna Summer: count me in.
