Plot
In the summer of 1900, a boy at a country house carries messages between a girl of the manor and a tenant farmer, not understanding what they mean.
Sinekatalog’s take
Joseph Losey's drama follows a boy carrying love letters between a gentry daughter and a farmer in 1900. Julie Christie and Alan Bates are superb, and Harold Pinter's script makes a bittersweet portrait of class and innocence lost.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
