LIFE AT THE TOP is a little-known sequel to the 1959 classic ROOM AT THE TOP, the film that helped usher in the 'angry young man' sub-genre of film. It's bolstered by another towering performance from Laurence Harvey, who seethes with working-class resentment despite having 'made it' in his world. The story this time around is slightly more inferior and less dramatic than that of the first film's, too much bogged down with domestic strife involving Jean Simmonds. The good news is that there's an excellent ensemble cast bringing the material to life, particularly Honor Blackman as yet another vivacious character for her resume.
