    The Rocking Horse
    The film's truthful portrayal of contemporary British youth, the location filming in London's crowded West End, and the atmospheric juxtaposition of images and largely unsynchronized soundtrack recall Free Cinema documentaries such as Nice Time (d. Claude Goretta/Alain Tanner, 1957). Other contemporary influences were John Cassavetes' Shadows (1959) and, for the love scene, Alain Resnais's Hiroshima Mon Amour (France, 1959).

Intending at the outset to make a campaign film, the Collective was forced to turn to new forms in order to represent the forces at work between the cleaners, the Cleaner's Action Group and the Unions - and the complex nature of the campaign itself.
