Trending Position
An experienced British cast star in this melodrama of a young mill-working girl on a seaside holiday with her friend. After a night at a dance hall, she hooks up with the son of a local mill owner and they have a clandestine time. All goes well until her friend is killed in a (frankly hilarious) boa ... ting accident, their tryst is discovered and they have to deal with the consequences. It's quite a nicely filmed period piece illustrating working class 1950s England and revealing the last vestiges of class-based snobbery; but the script is weak and wordy. Joan Hickson stands out as the matriarchal mother of the girl as does Ronald Adam as the rather pompous father of the boy.
