Good love story – I liked it that it did not sugar-coat their emotions and feelings and frustrations. Love the title – no wonder it was used in the lyrics of a song written by one of my favourite and greatest bands : )

Very dated, and not benefited by the trademark wooden acting of Mr Hurt. We gave up halfway through as there was so little happening except of course for the blossoming love affair and no doubt trouble coming at school for the teacher.
