Like the opening card says, Liverpool. New Year's eve. Michael ( Michael Angelis) has been hired on to manage a nightclub on the outskirts of town. And so far, both the catholics and the protestants are coming. The magician's rabbit has died. The bar is a front for the mafia. There will be a costume contest. The employees don't have specified duties, and the local punks smash any cars that try to park in the lot. And that's just the beginning. Can Michael survive the night? Will the club itself survive? Some low-key surprises. Will any of the employees support him? Directed by Peter Smith. He was nominated for a couple Baftas...not for this film. Written by Alan Bleasdale. It's pretty good, if a bit random and frenetic. A look at the rougher side of Liverpool in the mid 1980s!
