MELODY (a.k.a. SWALK – Sealed With A Loving Kiss) 1971
U.K. film. Letterbox format. Bee Gees soundtrack! If you forgot what junior high school was like, this film will remind you! School cafeterias, gymnasium dances, social cliques, overbearing teachers and parents, and getting in trouble!

In South London, two lonely classmates of opposite backgrounds become good friends. Daniel is well-bred but neglected by his parents and Ornshaw is an aggressive cynic who lives with his impoverished grandfather. During the course of their many misadventures, Daniel and Ornshaw visit Piccadilly Circus and later get thrashed by their teacher for not doing their homework. Their friendship is affected when Daniel becomes attracted to Melody Perkins. Resentful that Daniel is spending so much time with Melody, Ornshaw joins the other students in jeering at the young couple, and eventually goads Daniel into a fist-fight. When Daniel wins, the two boys come to a new understanding.

While playing hooky from school at the sea-shore, Daniel and Melody realize they are in love, and decide to get married. When the headmaster and parents respond to their marital intentions with disbelief and ridicule, the other students see Melody and Daniel as rebels and resolve to help them. At a makeshift chapel by the railroad tracks, Ornshaw "marries" Melody and Daniel just as carloads of parents and teachers arrive to prevent the ceremony. In retaliation, the children attack the adults with home-made soup-can bombs. During the melee, the two young "newlyweds" escape on a railroad hand car. Melody!

Soundtrack includes the Bee Gees songs: "In The Morning," "Melody Fair," "Spicks And Specks," "Give Your Best," "To Love Somebody" and "First of May." Also, from CSN&Y: "Teach Your Children." Mark Lester, Tracy Hyde, Jack Wild, Roy Kinnear, Billy Franks, Ken Jones, Sheila Steafel, Kate Williams.
