(OK) Richardson tries new moods, new sort of natural characters (wonderful Rita), actress casted against type (Dora Bryan is excellent), and new sort of characters (openly gay Murray Melvin), and plays wonderfully with them in natural sets...

"This movie was a milestone in British cinema, and also introduced the magical young Rita Tushingham to the screen for the first time. It revolves around a 16 year old girl Jo who gets pregnant by a black sailor who abandons her soon after and also her despicable mother who is more interested in having a good time with men than looking after her daughter. She also abandons her daughter after getting married. Jo meets Geoffrey, a homosexual man who moves in with her and promises to look after her."
