A young girl is evacuated during Word War 2 and is billeted with a woman who takes in evacuee orphans for the money, treats them badly and uses the money and food coupons for drink and men. This film has a screen play by Dylan Thomas that is about social comment of the effects of the evacuation and about middle class social values. There are good performances from Freda Jackson as the manipulative landlady, Joy Shledon as the socially responsible teacher and Ann Stephens and Joan Dowling as the exploited children. Today its main interest is as a post war social comment.
