At The Top Collection

Room at the Top is a 1959 British drama film based on the 1957 novel of the same name by John Braine. The film was widely lauded, and was nominated for six Academy Awards, winning two. Room at the Top is seen as the first of the British New Wave of kitchen-sink-realism film dramas. It was followed by a sequel in 1965 entitled Life at the Top.
