Finney's first film was The Entertainer (1960), but his breakthrough came with his portrayal of a hedonistic, disillusioned factory worker in Karel Reisz's film of Alan Sillitoe's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. This led to a series of "angry young man" roles in kitchen sink dramas, before he starred in the Academy Award winning 1963 film Tom Jones, for which he turned down the role of T. E. Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia.

After achieving critical success on the stage, Finney made his feature film debut in 1960's The Entertainer. A leading man known for his ability to play a wide range of characters, Finney soon became one of the brightest lights of the British Free Cinema movement of the early 1960s. His breakout role came in 1963's Tom Jones, which earned him his first Oscar nomination and made him an international star.
