Additional InformationAn excellent musical score by the Bee Gees adds appeal to this curious little movie about two ten-year olds, Daniel and Melody (Mark Lester and Tracy Hyde) who are completely taken with each other and announce to their parents, in all seriousness, that they plan to get married. This marriage is not planned for the distant future, but as soon as possible. The uproar that is caused when their seriousness becomes clear is not too surprising. Their best friend Ornshaw (Jack Wild) is not too thrilled with their plan either. What makes the film work is that the entire story is told from the children's point of view in which the grownups' objections, since they have no relation to the truth of what the children are feeling, come across as silly or inconsequential. This film is a reunion of sorts for Oscar-winning Oliver! co-stars Mark Lester and Jack Wild.

  • See London in 1970 and Jack Willd. What's not to love?

    Wonderful portrait of 1970's London. Some scenes like trip downtown were filmed as they happened (not extras). Jack Wild is in top form, at age 19. Shame he didn't make more films. Adults will enjoy it though it was pretty much made for pre-adolescents. Tracy Hyde also very charming and natural.

  • Brilliant & poignant entertainment

    A lovely nostalgic film from 1970 and set in London revolving around an innocent relationship between a girl and boy at school. It's funny, sad, happy - and has a cast of many stars of that era. Produced by David Puttman and a brilliant soundtrack by the Bee Gees & Crosby,Stills,Nash and Young. This will appeal to a certain generation of buyer, who likes nostalgic, well written and very well acted entertainment from a time far different to today - but which you can relate to, having experienced that time yourself. If you are that buyer, I know for certain that you will love this film. Enjoy !

  • Melody

    I have loved this heartwarming, poignant and hilarious film since first watching on a Sunday night when it was billed as S.W.A.L.K in my teen years. Wild, Lester and Hyde are terrific in their respective roles. Also love The Bee Gees soundtrack. A great film that takes you back to simpler and kinder times when our only concerns were "What's for tea" and when have I got double maths again!!

    A fantastic film set in 1970's London. Filmed in Hammersmith, Battersea and Lambeth that took me straight back to my childhood

  • Brilliant period piece

    A well scripted and well acted film that presents school and family life in the 1960s very well. There's also lots of good humour and a simple but engaging plot.
