Enjoyable movie, with a happy ending. Just shows how sometimes society can mean well but can be so wrong at the same time. Obviously when her mother dies Bridie is much better off on the road with robin & the traveling life, than to be sent to an asylum or hospital supposedly for her own good, as the doctor would have it. The vicar realizes this and is happy that she is free & happy in the end. Amazingly this film was in 1966 and today in 2007 the attitude of society has not changed regarding its discriminatory attitude towards traveling people. Have to say i thought that actor playing playing Robin was Oliver Reed, he is the image of him.
