In the Shadow of War's Aftermath - Innocent Sinners review by CH
Too little known, Innocent Sinners depicts a London more than ten years after the war - when its effects are still visible.
Amidst a bomb site, a young girl June Archer is moved to alleviate both that and her fraught home life by creating a flower garden. This is vandalised but one of the gang is moved to help her restore it in the shadow of the ruined building's inevitable demolition. A counterpoint to her home life and the threat of being despatched to a communal , religious one, here is drama of high order excellently played by all - the young and such stalwarts as Flora Robson.
