And if anbody, young or old, can resist the built-in warning and the movie itself, we don't know how. No filthy and even filthier-mouthed older rebels stripping down and stalking around in murderous petulance here, praise Britannia! Like fresh manna from heaven, this is a genuine children's hour. Tracy Hyde, a petite newcomer, is darling in the title role, and James Cossins as the school headmaster and Sheila Steafel, Roy Kinnear and Kate Williams as parents are all excellent.Here is a picture insisting that still another generation gap-a preteen one-is simmering under adult noses. Enter now a winsome little brunette student, and if you think you know what will happen after an 11-year-old boy and girl profess eternal love, you're in for a big surprise.As the two chums, Mark Lester and Jack Wild are simply wonderful, now reteamed after their "Oliver" and "Artful Dodger" roles. This regimented, impersonal milieu, compounded by shortsightedness at home, brings together two students, a rich lad and a brash cockney. Any adult who can face this British color film without succumbing to its wisdom, sweetness and marvelous mischief, all held, for once, to the viewpoint of the youngsters themselves, had better watch out.Exquisitely directed by Waris Hussein, the picture has striking color photography that crisply squints at contemporary London and an anthill depiction of a public school like a precocious child, missing nothing. As for "Melody"-hallelujah! Here, at long last, is a truly endearing movie not so much for or about as of children.
