Carol White is up to summink with scroogy farmer John Mills - turns out has her eye on gamekeeper Stuart Wilson too. Tragic ending is I suppose typical of its era, though H.E. Bates' 1953 novella had the same outcome - it's not one of his Darling Buds type fables.
Bernard Lee is a truly horrible old git so we completely feel for the girl, who ultimately makes the right decision but loses everything. He and Mills good as always, as is White. Film feels very farmy and rustic.
