YankeeDisc SUBS 7th Feb 2020		I did research this film's locations to a high degree of accuracy a while ago, and most of it was filmed on locations in and around near The Battersea Dogs Home (world famous), and the former Battersea Police Station, both in south London, not far from Battersea Park. I looked up map references and scenes from the film that I recognised, as I grew up in the near vicinity, and would be riding my bike with my younger brother and other friends on bikes in and around that area that I recognised from as early as 1960 to 1966..... I will try to add further information later. According to IMDb Havelock Terrace, Battersea, London SW11, is where the characters lived, plus a list of other locations where filming took place.



Dr Doom SUBS 4th Jul 2016		Rated 7/10 A well made and acted 'Kitchen Sink Drama' set around a bleak tenement house in Jubilee Close, London (There's one in Harlesden but I don't think that's where this film is set). Three young women seek to escape the inner city area they grew up in and this being 1964 it's all to do with who you marry! Marge married Sid. A dependable but boring choice. She now feels trapped as Sid's life revolves around beer and darts and making ends meet. Her head is turned by their playboy lodger Harry who gradually breaks down her resistance and finally seduces her. Of course he's such a cad that once he's 'conquered' her he moves onto the next target, her sister Jinny, with inevitably tragic consequences. A sub-plot involves the flirtatious and cynical Maureen who plans to marry the richest man she can. This pretty much goes the same way. Yup, it's pretty bleak stuff all in all but very watchable. It feels both dated and timeless at the same time. Things may be a bit more equal for women nowadays but basic human cruelties and weaknesses certainly haven't changed. One to file under 'Minging London' rather than 'Swinging London' 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
