This gripping British thriller tells a story of forbidden love between teacher and pupil in a sleepy town in 1950s England. Barbara Vining, played by Glynis Johns, is an impressionable teenage schoolgirl with a crush on her handsome Latin teacher, Stephen Barlow, (Leo Genn). Barlow is married to a beautiful but insecure American woman, Kay, played by Gene Tierney. Barbara disappears after a late tutoring session at the Barlow home and the pressure builds as the Police launch an investigation. Accused by the community, without any evidence, of causing Barbara’s death, Barlow is forced to step down from his teaching post and the strength of his marriage is tested to the full, as are relationships within the Vining family.
