Right up the alley of anyone in the mood for a love story and fans of a well-timed joke. Easy company after a long day. Sits nicely alongside Casablanca.

What might put you off
  • Made in 1970: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Young Jenny heads to the South of England to start a new career as a school teacher. Even before she has had a chance to settle in she meets Patrick, one of the local "lads". Within a short time she has her hands full when a number of the local boys take a liking to her. But who will be the lucky one who wins her affections?
