Mark Lester and Jack Wilde team up for this surprisingly captivating film about growing up. Lester’s character is deeply devoted to "Melody" (Tracy Hyde), proclaiming his desire to be with her always, and the school staff find themselves needing to deal with these insistent young people. The movie begins with Lester burning his father's newspaper, which immediately suggests that it won’t be a typical romance—and indeed, it isn’t. Dialogue from Alan Parker, offering a clear view of how children see things (often making fun of the responses from grown-ups), and a wonderful Bee Gees soundtrack contribute to its enjoyable nature as a drama that challenges conventional ideas about age and what being “grown up” really means. While James Cossins delivers a good performance as the headmaster who seems increasingly overwhelmed, along with Shiela Staefel and Roy Kinnear, it’s ultimately a story of young love, one where adults risk consequences if they dismiss it. The conclusion didn't completely work for me; I thought it was somewhat over-the-top, but seen through the eyes of a child, it offers a genuinely revealing look at things.
