Another enigmatic title from Hayley's mum, her novel being adapted by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall. Lives of rural children again observed so well - and the acting of Diane Holgate and Alan Barnes is every bit as good as Hayley's (Diane made no other films, Alan just the one - The Victors).
Bernard Lee also terrific in unusual role for him; Alan Bates good in debut.
Grey northern England nicely shot by Arthur Ibbetson. Music by Malcom Arnold.
