1. What kind of Britain is represented? How does it compare to the Britain represented in Passport to Pimlico?


It is a more modern britain than the britain represented in Pimlico, As they are in different decades and the film wasnt in black and white so it was newer!
  
 2. Describe the character of Jenny? How far do you think she is a typical British teenager? What might be different about her, if anything?


Jenny was a very ambitious girl who was easily manipulated and persuaded by an older man. She starts off as a regular school girl by doing well in classes and playing the celo etc. She then meets a man who changes her and ruins her academic career. she is tempted by an older rich man as a re a lot of teenagers and was treated to an extravagant lifestyle.


3. What impression does the film give of Britain if you are a woman? Describe Helen, Jenny's Mother, Jenny's 
teacher and Jenny in terms of representations of women.


Helen is obviously uneducated and has lived the life jenny experienced off of danny. Jenny's mother  is a typical housewife of that time, she tries to support her daughter but eventually it is only jennys father that has a say in what jenny does. Jenny's teacher is very supportive, she tries to influence Jenny to apply to Oxford but it does not work but in the end she is the person Jenny repspects the most and goes too for help to achieve her Oxford dream
.

4. What representation of British women do they give and can you think of any contemporary examples of similar women in film?
They provide an example that even with a degree from a prestigious university like oxford they will still lead a boring and un-fulling life.




5. Conduct some research into the film, who made it, how was it funded, who directed it?
