The very first thing that Emily Lloyd ever did, back in 1987. She is "Lynda"... a youngster and her trials and tribulations in old England. She keeps losing jobs and can't seem to make friends. I'm guessing she would be diagnosed with attention deficit disorder in more modern times, but this was "back in the 1950s", and they didn't really know what to do with her then. She can't seem to get enough, sexually, and defies her dis-approving father. Kind of slow moving, but an interesting period piece from post WW II England. Needed some spiffing up... maybe a stronger script, or maybe some big names in the cast. Everyone gives a fine performance... its just a bit flat and slow. Written and directed by David Leland. Not much info available on him. Lots of "Lelands" in the cast list, so I'm guessing he used family members in his films. An okay way to spend an hour and a half. Some funny bits. (Lynda does an "Up Ya Bum" dance.) Some sad bits. Some plain ol every-day living bits.
