North England, according to IMDb. I'd forgotten all about that one; I saw it when it first came out in 1961 and loved it, but it never made it to TV, at least not that I've seen. Rita Tushingham. She's 67 now, would you believe? It was her first film; she's still making movies in England, has made almost 60. Don't remember much about it now but the song. I'll have to see if it's on DVD; it would be fun to watch it again after this long. (Why does one say "watch a movie" if it's on TV, but only "see a movie" if it's in the theater??)
