Juvenile delinquency was a growing social problem in Britain in the 1950s.As the country got back on its feet after WW11, teenagers suddenly found more money in their pockets as jobs were plentiful in the post war economy.This drama features Sean Lynch who plays a working class orphan but artistically talented teenager who meets a nice middle class girl in a record shop and protects her from some bully boys when she wants to buy a long playing record of Tchaikovsky's music instead of the fashionable beat records favoured by the local youths.Beth Rogan plays the girl who gradually falls in love with the character played by Sean Lynch.She has a liberal father (Raymond Huntley) who owns a fabric factory and is predisposed to give Sean a job as an artistic designer in his fabrics department.One day the father loses his wallet with £50 in it and suspicion falls on Sean who is accused as he already has a police record and he loses his coveted job.Things then go from bad to worse and he returns to his old illegal haunts with the delinquent crowd with which he formerly mixed.
I would guess "Innocent Meeting" was a "B" feature which in British cinemas in the 1950s could be expected before "The Big Feature".I noticed Robert Dorning character actor who played in several "Hancock's Half Hour" comic TV episodes back then, and who here played a reporter hoping for a scoop.With a limited budget the film was adequate and I saw it today for the first time and I rated it 6/10.
