No Place for Jennifer

This 71 year old can still remember those austere early 1950s days of Britain with its bomb damage and food rationing.I was a 4 year old when this film was made and it had a resonant effect on me.Whenever I see a film with Rosamund John ("The First of the Few", "The Way to the Stars" "Green for Danger" etc) I think of my dear late mother and the way she used to look.The acting credit must go to the girl who played Jennifer in the central role and to the producer who was responsible for an intelligent screenplay and for highlighting the psychological effect divorce has on the children of divorcing parents.The danger of accepting sweets from possible paedophiles was examined and the love of true friends in this case a young schoolboy who befriends Jennifer.I applaud this film which I had not previously seen and the lessons drawn which are still relevant today, and I awarded it 9/10.
