Dickie Attenborough was twenty-five - he'd been Pinky in Brighton Rock the previous year - odd casting for a school boy. Story has a grim familiarity to it.
Bernard Miles, who also co-wrote, is Dickie's dad, Joan Hickson mum. Robert Flemyng is the forward-thinking teacher, Cecil Trouncer the old guard, Sheila Sim the daughter (A Canterbury Tale was her debut - she had married Dickie in 1945!)
Gilbert Taylor shot it.
