CGiii Comment

The relationship between a tomboy and a murderer...

A well-thought of film....but, it doesn't quite stand up against the ravages of time. The acting is pretty damn awful, if truth be known...one for nostalgia.

The(ir) Blurb...

Gille Jenkins, a 12 year old tomboy and compulsive liar living in a sordid tenement with her single parent mother, witnesses the murder of an immigrant Polish woman living in an nearby apartment by her former boyfriend, Bronislaus Korchinski. The young merchant marine becomes distraught when he discovers that she has become the mistress of a married British sports announcer and shoots her with her own gun.
