Movie: Melody

 

Melody – also known as SWALK (sealed with a loving kiss) – is a small movie from 1971 that is now mostly forgotten. It’s main claim to fame is that among its stars are Jack Wild and Mark Lester who had been huge hits as The Artful Dodger and Oliver Twist in the mega-award winning musical Oliver!

Melody is about young love. The boy and girl announce to their parents that they want to get married right away.  They are about 12 years old.

At one point in the plot the Jack Wild character finds himself in the headmaster’s study for a dose of the slipper which the head lovingly calls “Julius Caesar”. But our Jack is a crafty soul, he had already put padding down the back of his trousers.

Melody is available on DVD and for streaming.
