A surprisingly good film , nicely written and very well acted by Jean Kent, Dennis Price and whoever played “Danny”—-one of the villains of the piece. Touches of neo-realism give the story some visual interest, as do some nice directorial flourishes. Gritty—of course a little soapy ending, as a young girl (a very young Diana Dors) is persuaded not to become a “good time girl” because she has learned from the sordid history of a girl who has taken the wrong path. Definitely worth a watch.
OMG . . . what a load of nonsense! Nice to see the old English actors in their youth though.
