    Should have gone with his dad to watch The Arsenal

    The first thing to mention is that Andrew Ray was 18 when this film was made and Janet Munro was 24,which makes this film even more silly.Did teenagers ever behave in this way.Maybe sex wasn't talked about so much in that era.It is just straining credulity that the children would behave in such an innocent way and their parents react as if they had been hit by a bomb.Very dated.
