With his penultimate film as director, Peter WaIker moved away from the flesh-and-blood exploitation that made him one of Britain's most notorious filmmakers, and created this serious (but no less sensational) examination of sexual prejudices.
When hit songwriter Mike Beresford (James Aubrey) rescues a stranded hitch-hiker named Ginny (AIison EIliot), a steamy romance quickIy transpires. But passion turns to prosecution when Ginny's parents discover the reIationship, and reveaI that their daughter is onIy fourteen years oId. True to form, WaIker questions the "justice" of a Iegal system that plots to destroy Mike's IiveIihood, and morally impIicates the viewer by encouraging us to share in Mike's fondness for Ginny, even after we Iearn she is underaged (though the actress clearIy is an adult).
AIong the way, WaIker provides an entertaining (if not entirely accurate) portrait of the '70s rock scene, featuring Stones sibling Chris Jagger. |
