One of the films on which director Jack Clayton and composer Georges Delerue worked together. Dirk Bogarde is supposed to be the big draw but the film really belongs to the seven kids, who include Pamela Franklin from The Innocents; Phoebe Sarah Nicholls, who went on to play Cordelia Flyte in Granada Television's wonderful adaptation of Brideshead Revisited and Elizabeth Elliot in the 1995 Screen Two Persuasion; and of course Mark Lester. Bogarde recalled that on his first day his young colleagues left him "a jam jar stuffed with privet and some wilting Michaelmas daisies. Under it was a note. 'Let's hope you're as good as you're cracked up to be. You'd better be. Sincerely, The Children.' I loved every second of the film, which was one of the happiest I have ever made."
