Gripping realism, spontaneous acting.

I saw this film in 1965. It is very "Canadian" and depicts Toronto at a time when it was still basically a WASP city (before Yorkville). Note that actors Peter and Julie have the same name as their characters. They play two teens who fall in love, and she becomes pregnant.The treatment of this dilemma and the family dynamics is very realistic, enhanced by the black/white photography. If my memory serves me, there was no set script for this film; the actors developed their own lines. One is left with the feeling of having witnessed the real-life tensions in the lives of the people on the screen. Unlike "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg", this story of young love in difficulty is stark and realistic. There is not much sense of romance or beauty. It is gripping.

A film for everyone

I saw this in my film appreciation class in high school in 1974. I had never seen it anywhere until it was shown at my local library recently. There were only three other people there. We agreed the usual attendees missed a rare opportunities. The film was shown on an ancient bell and Howell projector and the quality was terrible but we hung in there. I don't think anyone couldn't relate to the characters, even if you never were in any trouble or pregnant as a teen. You could just feel the conflict. Certainly not a feel good film but you really wanted everything to be okay. I don't know how this worked but the acting was more than a little wooden but you believed it.
