I found this movie to be listed recently under the tile of "The Gypsy Boy". Being a long time Haley Mills fan I was delighted to find a film that I had not seen yet. "Sky West and Crooked" is the original much more aptly named title.
Haley Mills in one of her best performances! This movie is one of those wonderful films from Great Britain that features an entire cast of great character actors providing great performances.
A young teen from a small village flounders in her maturity. Suffering from acknowledged amnesia, she knows something happened but can not remember what. The adults in the village are exasperated with her immaturity but do nothing to help her. They have long left her to her own devices and the haphazardly and abusive care of her alcoholic mother. Soon she meets a young man from a Gypsy encampment. His friendship helps her focus and claim her right to the love they eventually find.
