Finney made his film debut in 1960 in The Entertainer.
A bookie's son from Salford, Finney's characterisation seemed to come from inside the new, young, dissatisfied working class, and with its insolent defiance, aggressive sexuality and self-absorbed cockiness dispelled the dreams of a decent and contented class community left over from Ealing.
Finney's performance in the title role of Tom Jones (1963) carried some of the same class insolence and a lot of the sexuality, and the success of the film made him an international star.

 Albert Finney   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A 1955 graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, Finney began in English theater at a time when young working-class actors were seething with rage at the social structure and the broken promises of the prewar years.
In 1967, he was the wayfaring husband of Audrey Hepburn in Two For the Road, and then further showcased his versatility as the title character in Scrooge (1970) and as the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express (1974).
Directing as well as starring in Charlie Bubbles (1967), Finney used this tale of a philandering author to convey the emptiness of privileged youth in a flashy, fragmentary style anticipating MTV by nearly two decades (and also providing Liza Minnelli with her screen debut).

Five-time Academy Award nominee Albert Finney is the dynamic British stage and film actor whose career, now spanning a half century, is one of the most accomplished in the annals of contemporary acting.
Finney played the small part of Olivier's son, Mick Rice, in The Entertainer (reuniting with director Tony Richardson), then won critical acclaim and enormous success as the brawling, nonconformist factory worker, Arthur Seaton, in Karel Reisz's milestone in British realist cinema, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning.
