Private Road

1h 29m Drama, Independent 1971

AroView: The other lost gem from British independent film-maker Barney Platts-Mills, who follows up “Bronco Bullfrog” (1970) with a rough-hewn love story charting the first steps into adult life for a young depressive girl and a cocky young writer.

Susan Penhaligon would go on to become a well-known television actress, but the film is especially notable for the unique lead performance of Bruce Robinson, writer-director of the beloved cult hit, “Withnail and I” (1987), which was based on his experiences as an aspiring actor.
