Storyline
| Plot Summary |
While on seaside holiday with her friend Mary, pretty factory worker Jenny is attracted to Alan, son of the owner of the mill where she works. When she agrees to spend a week with the young man, Jenny enlists her roommate's help to keep this liaison a secret. The conspiracy backfires when Mary is killed in a freak boating accident that reveals that Jenny was elsewhere. Both sets of parents learn of the liaison and insist that Alan "do the right thing" by marrying her, but independent Jenny has a surprise for them. Successful and more realistic remake of one of the earliest British talkies, made in 1931 after two previous silent versions.

| Quotes |
Chris Hawthorn:
What do you think could have happened to her? Mrs. Hawthorn: Why, it's staring you in the face! She's gone off with a chap, that's what. Chris Hawthorn: I don't believe it. Our Jenny would never do a thing like that. Mrs. Hawthorn: Trust you to stick up for her. Well, what else can it mean? Chris Hawthorn: I don't know. Perhaps she's been kidnapped or something. Maybe I ought to go to the police. Mrs. Hawthorn: You'll do no such thing. Isn't it enough for you that she's disgraced us, without telling the whole of Hindle? Chris Hawthorn: We've no proof that she has. Mrs. Hawthorn: Kidnapped indeed! She put yesterday's date on the card, the sly, artful little... oh, I tell you she's gone off with a chap. And it's you who're to blame Chris Hawthorn, for never having taken a stick to her! See more » |
