Quotes
Chris Hawthorn: What do you think could have happened to her?
Mrs. Hawthorn: Why, it's staring you in the face! She's gone off with a chap, that's what.
Chris Hawthorn: I don't believe it. Our Jenny would never do a thing like that.
Mrs. Hawthorn: Trust you to stick up for her. Well, what else can it mean?
Chris Hawthorn: I don't know. Perhaps she's been kidnapped or something. Maybe I ought to go to the police.
Mrs. Hawthorn: You'll do no such thing. Isn't it enough for you that she's disgraced us, without telling the whole of Hindle?
Chris Hawthorn: We've no proof that she has.
Mrs. Hawthorn: Kidnapped indeed! She put yesterday's date on the card, the sly, artful little... oh, I tell you she's gone off with a chap. And it's you who're to blame Chris Hawthorn, for never having taken a stick to her!

Social history insight, that's it

A decent insight into the social life and attitudes of the 40's 50's in Britain. However it's let down by some ridiculous casting, namely the gorgeous Lisa Daniely cast as a Lancashire Mill workers daughter with an accent straight out of a Surrey finishing school.
