The Custard Boys [713687] Released: 1979-11-24 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 82 mins Popularity: 0.0899 Vote Average: 8 Vote Count: 1 Overview: An Indian summer, 1942: "When I was thirteen, all I wanted to be was a hero." A young evacuee's response to the surrounding war-obsessed adult world seems the only one available to him, until he forms 'a particular friendship' with another boy, a Jewish refugee. This threatens the stability of his gang (who also mirror the racist/jingoist attitudes of adulthood), and he is caught in Forster's great liberal crux: your country or your friend?
