The Screen Guide

The story of Laura, a lively intelligent tomboy who is sent to a classy Melbourne boarding school for ladies. The film is a vivid, often abrasive picture of the emergence of a very individualistic woman from an immature girl. Based on the semi-autobiographical novel by Henry Handel Richardson.
