Innocent Sinner (1958) Talking Pictures TV
A marvellous gem of a film. The sort of film that TPTV finds from time to time. Young girl Lovejoy Mason (what a marvelous name Lovejoy is) played by unknown actress at the time and subsequently since June Archer. Lovejoy lives with the Vincents, owners of a struggling small high street restaurant. Lovejoy's mother is a bit of a floosie who isnt on the scene and when she is, she focuses's o
her own needs. Lovejoy dreams, dreams of a garden, something beautif oc her own jn thd shell shocked London of post war Britain.
Throw in a gang of boys whose turf is the local bomb site. Their leader Kip is sweet on Lovejoy helps her rebuild hervgarden, after thx gang had trashed it. Its a marvelous film and it comes highly recommended. If your a fan of kitchen sink dramas crossed with the innocence of a childrens film this is film for you. 9/10.
Incidentally I watched this film on the Talking Pictures Red button catch up feature, following the completion of John Mill's The Rocking Horse Winner, another classic. Both films do share the loss of innocence in a less than flattering adult world.
