Deep End. Jump right in… the water’s fine.

Jerzy Skolomowski’s little known Deep End filled the house on a frosty Thursday evening! You might say the start if the new year made a big splash… ?

London, at the end of the swinging sixties (the film was actually shot entirely in Budapest with a stunning pallet of greens and red) provided the setting for this coming-of-age tale of a 15 year old Mike’s (John Moulder-Brown, then 17) obsessive fascination for 24 year old Susan (Jane Asher). Speaking of older women, Diana Dors turned in an amazing performance as an excited client, looking to have a little teenage action for herself! Ms. Dors, a well known vamp in 50’s and 60’s Britain, was unknown to most of our guests. I described her as the English Marilyn Monroe before the movie started, and many of you couldn’t see how that might be possible. Just to set the record straight, here she is in her one time glory!
