Dirs: Joseph Despins and William Dumaresq
Starring: Kit Gleave and Erna May
A teenage boy is torn between the womanly charms of a kindly prostitute and the sadistic attentions of an older man
This obscure and seemingly forgotten drama is an intense and bizarre study of obsession that is by turns lyrical and disconcerting, but more often than not just plain weird. There is a sequence filmed on the top deck of a bus as it travels along the Great Western Road in West London. Out of the windows of the top deck in one shot there is a brief view of the goods facilities adjacent to the Great Western main line in the Westbourne Park area. There is also a brief scene filmed on the concourse of London Waterloo station, but no trains are visible.
