Additional InformationA high-spirited tale of a rebellious teenage girl in 1950s Britain who energetically flouts the repressive sexual mores of her working-class seaside town. 16-year-old Lynda enjoys shocking her neighbours with her foul mouth and lascivious behaviour, but underneath her flamboyantly cheeky facade is a lonely girl still suffering from the loss of her mother at an early age. No one in the town understands Lynda's desperate need to challenge conventions -- least of all Lynda's widowed dad. When Lynda's reckless sexual adventures lead her into a dangerous relationship with an unsavoury older man, her father is powerless to stop her.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...Brazen, defiant....Lloyd is captivating..., Variety - ...This is an enjoyable, well acted, technically sound production...
This film takes a look at a life less ordinary with a personality to match and conveys to us just how things were viewed differently years ago with regard to sex. Very entertaining.
