Previously unavailable adaption of Rumer Godden's novel

Many of Rumer Goddens novels have been adapted for the big screen, most famously Black Narcissus and The River. Now, the excellent, previously unavailable The Greengage Summer can join their estimable company on DVD. Like much of Goddens work, it portrays the sexual awakening of a British girl in a foreign land (it was retitled Loss of Innocence in the US).

Susannah York plays a sixteen-year-old girl who takes charge of her two younger sisters and brother when they are forced to fend for themselves in France after their mother is taken suddenly ill and rushed to hospital. Kenneth More's enigmatic Englishman comes to her aid however - much to the chagrin of his increasingly jealous mistress (Danielle Darrieux).Directed in 1961 by Louis Gilbert

Starring Kenneth More, Susannah York, Jane Asher and Danielle Darrieux.

Now available on DVD for just £12.99 including UK delivery
