"...they won't forget me in a hurry...."

Melvyn Hayes plays Tommy, a teenager who is only to readily lead astray by Herbert Lom's character 'Wilkie'. Tommy's sister (Sylvia Syms) tries to help Tommy whilst being a love interest for Wilkie. Shot on a budget, but well-adapted for cinema, this is several steps above an average kitchen sink drama of the time.

Hayes' performance is slightly overwrought, Lom's is accomplished, and Syms' is surprisingly sensitive.

Interesting that the new high-rise flats of the time were deemed 'better' than the old back to backs.... but now things have turned full circle and the high rises are coming down in favour of more conventional streets once more.

Overall an interesting period piece, worth watching.
