Summer 1900: Queen Victoria's last and the summer Leo turns 13. He's the guest of Marcus, a wealthy classmate, at a grand home in rural Norfolk. Leo is befriended by Marian, Marcus's twenty-something sister, a beauty about to be engaged to Hugh, a viscount and good fellow. Marian buys Leo a forest-green suit, takes him on walks, and asks him to carry messages to and from their neighbor, Ted Burgess, a bit of a rake. Leo is soon dissembling, realizes he's betraying Hugh, but continues as the go-between nonetheless, asking adults naive questions about the attractions of men and women. Can an affair between neighbors stay secret for long? And how does innocence end? *MR

Odd, music didnt match the acting, acting not great, overacting, - didnt finish it, beautiful clothes and country side.
Ed: Oops, can't agree with this one, probably my fave Joseph Losey film and the extraordinary music makes it, not to mention Harold Pinter's screenplay performed by Julie Christie, Alan Bates and Edward Fox et al at the absolute peak of their powers.
I think you may have enjoyed it more if you had seen it to the end. 5 stars from me!
