IMDB

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Tony Sloman

The title's a clever pun, since the film deals with the time of a young girl's drowning, and with the (unrelated) trials and tribulations of two unnamed couples. Acclaimed in its day as a sharp slice of British neorealism, talented writer/director Anthony Simmons has done nothing quite as good, although his location work on Black Joy and The Optimists of Nine Elms is also impressive. Judi Dench won a Bafta for her role, while Ann Lynn, Norman Rodway and Brian Phelan have seldom been better. Joe Melia makes a sharp contribution and the bleak early score by John Barry is superb.
