Take It or Leave It

In 1981, after a string of UK Top Ten singles and two smash hit albums, Madness took to the silver screen. Yet while a group nicknamed The Nutty Boys might have been expected to indulge in the knockabout japes of A Hard Day's Night or Help! like The Beatles years before, Take It Or Leave It was a grittier, less glossy version of the events that led them to becoming one of Britain's most cherished bands.
