Ok i know its been done before in threads but ...
I'll do it again ... its inspired by the fact that if anyone is reading this at this point in time ... Especially 'ox' Turn BBC2 on now
Scenes involving the Ace Cafe in the early 1960's !!! and bikes of the time!!!

BBC2 12.05am Film: The Leather Boys (1963, 15)
A teenager marries her mechanic boyfriend in an attempt to escape from her overbearing parents. Their romantic dreams are shattered though when the new husband forms a close bond with a homosexual motorcyclist. Gritty drama which was considered to be extremely controversial at the time of its release, starring Rita Tushingham, Colin Campbell, Dudley Sutton and Gladys Henson.

It is actually as it says in the above write up quite a gitty film for its time!
But also some quite good shots of bikes and the Ace Cafe from that point in time!
