 Rating:  - Won't Get Fooled Again - Yeah RightI'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, ...

Set in a British seaside town a couple of years after WW Two,teenager Lynda [played convincingly by Emily Lloyd] is a foul-mouthed vixen who enjoys making grown men uncomfortable with their own reactions to her overt sexuality.

Rating: - Heartbreaking Warnings About The Truth of A Troubled GirlEmily Lloyd won international acclaim for her role in this 1987 British film. A motherless teenager raised by a conservative and distant father embarks on an empty search for love in a sleepy coastal English town. 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 |
