film directed byGillies MacKinnon about gangs, specifically the Tongs, in 1960sGlasgow . It starsIain Robertson ,Joseph McFadden , Steven Duffy,Kevin McKidd ,Laura Fraser , Mark McConnochie, Clare Higgins and Garry Sweeney.The film was produced in 1995 by Skyline Productions in association with the
BBC Film Fund and subsequently released in 1996 and distributed byPathé - a division of20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. The film received a BBFC Certificate of 15 (intended for audience's aged 15 and over) within theUnited Kingdom . Some argued that because of the high levels of violence and adult themes portrayed in this film, an 18 Certificate would have been more suitable.The typical strong "
Glasgow Patter " vernacular that would be characteristic of real local gangs was transformed into a very "standardised" dialect ofScottish English so as to encompass a wider audience.The film was shot on location at various districts in
Glasgow , including Sighthill,Partick andBishopbriggs . The piece won the title of 'Best British Film' at theEdinburgh Film Festival .External links
