There is no new ground broken here and it's shot in color when it's really a black and white subject but it's pleasant enough and virtually all the cast do a nice job. It's our old friend the morality play with Janet Munro playing the almost too naive Jenny Jones facing late teens trapped in 'the valleys' with a tyrannical widowed father and nothing to look forward to except the ads in the Women's magazines pushing scented soap via unrealistic promises. Almost inevitably she gets picked up and deflowered by a stereotypical cad who dumps her in London where she is 'rescued' albeit temporarily by a decent bartender but just as inevitably she is seduced far too easily by the bright lights and sleaze masquerading as glamour. Following its initial release it disappeared without trace until new channel Talking Pictures dusted it down and showed in on national television. Well done.
