Philip Leacock directs this 1960s British film exploring a childhood friendship threatened by a religious divide. Michael O'Malley (Philip Needs), a young Catholic boy, and Rachel Mathias (Loretta Parry), a young Jewish girl, become friends when the former rescues the latter from schoolyard bullies. With both considered outsiders in Protestant England, a strong basis exists for a bond between the pair.
