- Quotes
Ann: The minute I'm finished I'm going straight up to Matron.
Mary: No - don't.
Ann: Lucy deliberately got me into trouble.
Mary: I know, but squealing on someone is the worst thing you can do in a place like this - it's a sort of unofficial rule. If you do, everybody will be against you.
Ann: Everybody is already. Except you.
Mary: But it will make things worse for you, Ann. Believe me - I know.
Ann: She can't keep getting away with it.
Mary: Anything else you might do - anything - any of the girls would forgive you. But narking, telling on someone - none of the girls would ever forgive you for that, even if it wasn't them you narked on.
The story is simplistic--suitable for a cheap drive-in double header. The acting is satisfactory, but uneven.
What most annoys is the cheery jazz score that accompanies every scene, regardless of the dramatic content. It proves very distracting and laughable at times. It's not that the music is bad; it's just inappropriate, undermining the emotional impact of scenes.
