Looked at through the lens of the #MeToo generation, there is something to be said for a boy who is not pressuring a teenage girl to have sex.

Women of Twilight is a lost gem: a gritty, ground-breaking drama based on the hit West End play by Sylvia Rayman that was the first British film to receive the recently introduced X certificate.Many critics excoriated the tweenie trash (Roger Ebert described it as a “tepid achievement”) and its supposed sexual-abstinence message got a drubbing from feminists – more on that later.

Broadly, the cast is divided into three elements. One is the unfortunate mothers. The second is the put-upon staff of the hostel, to an extent divided in their response to the morality of what they are helping to do. The third is the single figure of the proprietor, Helen, a twisted, contemptuous and unhappy woman who takes out her various malaises on her victims. Sally Mortemore seizes her chances in this almost larger than life role with understandable energy. Dareen (April 12, 2009). "Tinsel Korey Joins The Cast Of 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' " .

Side guide

Sixty years later we still live in an era swamped with heartbreaking reports of failing social services, domestic abuse and child poverty. Single mothers still face social stigma. Many of the most vulnerable still have no alternative but to live in shelters. Sadly, there will always be unscrupulous individuals who seek to exploit the least fortunate for their own means. This is a play with strong social conscience, which resonates as strongly today as it did then.

Anthony Aldgate and James Crighton Robertson, Censorship in Theatre and Cinema, Edinburgh University Press, 2005 Daily Sketch, January 1953: "Here is an adult, honest drama which focuses attention on a real-life problem to which none of us should close our eyes. But I warn you; the young actresses - a male face seldom appears in this film - throw themselves wholeheartedly into their sad parts." [33] When unmarried nightclub singer Vivianne (Rene Ray) sees her lover Jerry (Laurence Harvey) arrested for murder, just as she finds she is pregnant, she struggles to find anywhere to live in London. Whether it is the pregnancy or the known attachment to a suspected murderer, she is not the sort of person desirable as a tenant to the landladies of early-1950s England. Monthly Film Bulletin, December 1952: "This sordid story has been dealt with in an unimaginative, self-conscious manner, with the emphasis on the sensational ... The film, which infers that it has performed a social duty in bringing these unpleasant facts before the public, could have done better by dropping the pointless initial Soho nightclub scenes, and introducing a sequence showing what social services there are available for the unmarried mother. But Women of Twilight, the first British film to receive an 'X' certificate from the censor, is perhaps scarcely remarkable for truth to life." [29]
