by having Stamp so skillfully, bravely, and almost successfully defend himself from the four young thugs right at the beginning, we are led to believe in his bravery, setting us up for that base end. Good direction has no need of shenanigans like that. Frears went on to improve, of course. (I know he wasn't the writer but directors get the glory so they should get the howls, too).
