I absolutely loved it. One of the most compelling and believably fresh love stories I've ever seen.

I've seen The Deep End with Tilda Swinton and it's superb.

Yes. A powerful and disturbing film indeed.

The film does a great job of teetering on the sweetness and the obsessiveness of first love. He was in love and she was a tease. Won't go any further than that. The two leads gave excellent performances.
The scene with the diamond in the snow was breathtaking. And the bathhouse milieu was dead on.

I stated watching it, but didn't finish for some reason. Must give it another try. You have mentioned this film several times.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Along with "Trash", it's my favorite film of 1970.

Marvelously gritty teen coming of age film. Jane Asher is fabulous in her role, plus a very memorable cameo appearance by Diana Dors.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

Diana "dribble dribble" Dors. Yes, she was memorable. I would have been scared of her, too!

I also enjoyed seeing Burt Kwouk of the Pink Panther's Cato fame as the hot dog vendor.

I don't remember the character you are talking about specifically, but I do remember the scene and being amused at how the boy eats like 5 or 6 hot dogs for the chance of running into the girl.
