Easy Go

About This Movie

So, 'Easy Go' is this little gem from 1974, and it definitely has an interesting vibe. Set on a blistering hot day by the Thames, it captures that gritty, almost nostalgic feel of childhood summers—like kids running wild with a sense of adventure. The plot revolves around these Deptford kids and some dockers chasing after something they see in the river. It’s not just about the prize; it’s the rivalry and the way they all interact that really brings the story to life. The pacing can feel quite relaxed, almost meandering, which suits the lazy summer atmosphere. Performances feel genuine, capturing the essence of those times and places, and there’s something raw and real about the whole thing that makes it stand out in the realm of TV movies.

'Easy Go' exists mainly as a TV movie from the 70s, which means physical formats are quite scarce. The film has seen limited releases, making it a hidden treasure for those who appreciate vintage television. Collector interest is growing, especially among fans of British drama and obscure gems. Finding it in good condition can be a bit of a hunt, but for those who stumble upon it, it’s a rewarding watch.
