The real star of this drama of teen angst and future regret is Christina Gregg, 17 years old and running away from an abusive relationship with her father. She heads to London to stay with her grasping but loving aunt (Hermione Baddeley) whose over protectiveness can be stifling. Handsome club singer Jess Conrad is obviously too old for her, but that doesn't stop her from continuing to see him, not knowing that he's a petty criminal on the side, robbing houses and eventually getting shot which leads her to go on the run with him. Hopefully the obviously tragic ending will teach her a lesson as evidenced by the look on her face as the film rolls to an end.
Well done but predictable, this is highlighted by a sequence where Gregg rides into Piccadilly circus and gets views of some of the most famous spots there including the Talk of the Town nightclub. It truly is the Las Vegas and Broadway of London, and it's obvious through her eyes that she feels like a new life is beginning and desperately wants to be a part of it. Unfortunately, this does not include the famous song by the Four Seasons (written four years later) which would have been a great theme for the film. The music in the background however is quite similar. A pretty good B quota quickie that has decent acting and a tight script, only marred by the fact that you already know what's going to happen at the end.
