Our second Rare Film, finally an acceptable 14x9 print, from video, courtesy of My Rare Films. Last saw it on TV, aged 13 (6 June 1977).
Intimate portrait of 14 year old schoolgirl Jenny Agutter (actually 16) who has a crush on her adoptive older brother Bryan Marshall, who may be a murderer. Agutter is fantastically believable and natural - she's in every scene. This is the film before Railway Children and Walkabout. From novel by Audrey Erskine-Lindop, adapted by Richard Harris (not that one). Also with Simon Ward.
Shot by Alex Thomson, much in close-up, and filmed at a very familiar block of flats in Bracknell (Point Royal)!
