Caressed

I caught this movie on Bravo, while channel surfing. I stopped, because I recognized English Bay as the beach where the two male leads were studying. After watching longer, I noted several Vancouver street scenes, which was a twist, given that few films were made in the city in the 1960s. The film itself is quirky and some of the minor characters seem to stumble over their lines.The plot line is interesting, though -- we see the protagonist, Tom, struggle with losing his virginity. However, when Tom gets his tutor pregnant, just after becoming engaged to his girlfriend, he and his friends threaten to ruin the tutor's repuation. The movie is more frank than you might expect for the times, although, being a Canadian film, this subject matter may have been more routine for the decade.
