This moviecontinues with the non-stop exploitation of young Patty Garman. She's been in a LOT of Frith films. Here, she helps with the family farm chores, where she feeds all sorts of animals, from chickens, goats, and cows. (But no horses! (They all died in another film)) Patti falls down in the gravel in one scene and starts crying. Somehow for some reason, this is part of the narrative. WHY, oh WHY?
