Rating:  - Won't Get Fooled Again - Yeah Right
I'll have to admit that I bought this little piece of cheesecake because it was only $3.33 and the good looking little Brit lasse on the cover was showing off some of her handsome flesh. But what I got was the most depressing and sordid life story of a supposed real life English prostitute. The film made an attempt to give a sympathetic late 20th century presentation of her life. But I saw through it and believe me I didn't sympathize at all! I found the lead character to be the most unpleasant, ... Read More
Rating:  - Emily Lloyd's free-spirited Lynda is a delight to watch!
This is a wonderful movie that explores the sexual awakening of a young girl with candor and humor.

Also this flick points out that under certain conditions a troubled girl will do it with anything on two legs.

A rebel without a cause, defiant, and mouthy, underneath it all is a girl so emotionally deprived and seeking nourishment in all the wrong places. An out-of-wedlock pregnancy solidifies her social pariah status in the community. Based on the British madam Cynthia Payne (the English version ... Read More
Rating: - "I Got These At Marks and Spencer's"
This is a gem of a picture that is well worth checking out primarily for the glowing performance of Emily Lloyd as Lynda Mansell, a teenager growing up in Post-war England who defies the staid coventions of her seaside town. Lynda is a young girl who on the surface cheerfully thumbs her nose at society by her outwardly outrageous behavior while internally nursing emotional wounds. Credit director-writer David Leland for intricately explaining the rationale for Lynda's behavior. This film also succeeds ... Read More
