Melody - 1971 - 6/10
While set in 1970, this could be a decade earlier, or in Victorian times.
Boy meets girl. They hit it off, really hit it off, so much they contemplate marriage.
Not in the future, either. As soon as possible.
Slight roadblock, Melody and Daniel are 11 years old.
This story of innocent romance has an undeniable sweetness to it.
A lesser director would have laced this with sniggering innuendo or sarcasm.
Indeed, this still retains some lingering 60’s optimism.
Lovely soundtrack by the Bee Gees (and one by CSNY).
