Oh, that princess!

Oh yes. I was 9 when I saw this film at a tiny little cinema on a rainy day in Padstow, Cornwall. Must have been school spring or summer holidays. I immediately fell madly in love with June Laverick. I've remembered all of the tunes since then, and can remember so much of the movie too ... that's 50 years ago. I suppose that was the gift of Lionel Bart's music.
I've always felt that "Princess, If You Love me, I'm Prince" is/was the most romantic of songs. And I loved "Happy Guitar", "It's all Happening", "My Family Tree" ... still know all the words, so it must have hit me hard.
I've not seen it since but would love to, and long ago lost the 10" LP of the music.
