Dulcima

Dulcima is a 1971 British drama film directed by Frank Nesbitt. It was entered into the 21st Berlin International Film Festival. The film stars Carol White as Dulcima, a carefree girl who begins working on a run-down Gloucestershire farm owned by the miserly Mr. Parker (John Mills). The farmer quickly becomes enamoured of the pretty and lively girl and invites her to stay. They begin a sexual relationship, which becomes strained when he discovers her affections for a local gamekeeper. The story was taken from a novella of the same name by H. E. Bates. The Canadian television film Dulcima (1969) was based on the same novella, with the setting transferred to a small town in Ontario.
