I've been given the last few scenes for my drama performance. Bit annoyed that it doesn't stick to the original script or plot in some places but then i suppose that's what happens isn't it?

This is a brilliant film and I thank you for giving us such a privilege in seeing it here is such a crisp, clear print.

I "stumbled" upon this film one night while channel surfing. It's a testament to Rita Tushingham that I couldn't seem to go any further. Her face is at once beautiful and uniquely captivating. I was mesmorized by the story and the friendship/ love affair that developed between the characters Jo and Jeffrey.
