Synopsis: John Mills's sole
assignment behind the camera is something of a family affair: it was
co-scripted by his novelist wife, Mary Hayley Bell, and stars their daughter
Hayley Mills.
Intended to help Hayley distance herself from the kind of
children's roles that she had undertaken at Disney, the film is a variation on
DH Lawrence's The Virgin and the Gypsy, with Hayley's child-like teen falling
for romantic Romany Ian McShane. It's all somewhat melodramatic, with Hayley's
problems compounded by mother Annette Crosbie's drinking and local hostility
towards McShane.
Mills Sr directs with a steady hand, while the
supporting players rather show the leads how it should be
done.
Cast: Hayley Mills, Ian McShane, Geoffrey Bayldon, Pauline
