Edna, The Inebriate Woman. 1971
Edna is a drunk and homeless woman going from police stations and a psychiatric hospital for just to have a roof over her head. When she finds a hostel she seems more happy till the government announces they are not going to fund hostels for homeless.
This was a TV movie that aired on the BBC in the 70s and repeated them in the 90s called Play For Today, Patricia Hayes plays down on her luck Edna, full of joys and cheekiness with very bad hardships. It can be seen a very realistic even in today's society with homelessness. As well as having some comedy in it the drama makes it more enjoyable and make you teary eyed.
