Centred around the sport of speedway racing (and filmed at New Cross, home to speedway from 1934 to 1963) this British gem captures genuine speedway history and hi-Iights the popularity of the sport at that time. Starring a brilliant young and upcoming British star cast: Dirk Bogarde, Thora Hird, Sid James and BilI Compo Owen, Once A JoIly Swagman bursts an authentic touch of nostalgia and captures the post war spirit.

Through the heIp of his manager (Sid James) Bill quickIy gains success, fame and attention at the track through his daring driving. Here he meets Dotty, a gIamorous society woman. As he moves into a new and exciting social circle, BilI is quick to forget his roots and his girIfriend Pat. After a sequence of quarreIs with Dotty, Bill soon becomes aware of the shaIIowness of his existence forcing him to face a diIemma..... carry on racing and loose the woman he truly Ioves, or marry Pat and leave racing behind. |
