Poor Cow is a 1967 drama film by British director Ken Loach, based on Nell Dunn's novel of the same name.
Although Malcolm McDowell is listed in the credits on the commercial release of the film, the scenes in which he appears are deleted.
Steven Soderbergh used clips of Poor Cow to show the early life of Terence Stamp's character in The Limey (1999).
The title song by Donovan was released as single b-side to "Jennifer Juniper" in early 1968. Other songs by him in the film are "Be Not Too Hard" and "Colours".
Plot summary
Joy is an 18 year old woman who runs away from home with Tom; this proves to be the first of many bad choices. She marries and has a boy, Johnny. Tom is a thief; he becomes mentally and physically abusive to Joy and ends up in prison, leaving her on her own. Joy takes a job as a barmaid and then, to earn extra money, becomes a prostitute. Her life spirals downhill until her son goes missing and she realises what is most important to her.
