Name: Girl on Approval
Genre: Drama
Duration: 1 h 15 min
Rating: 6.7
Cast: Rachel Roberts, James Maxwell, Annette Whiteley

Rachel Roberts is as good as ever, unfortunately the support is not as good. The ideals of fostering are put through the ringer but don't make for good viewing. It tries to explore social values. Would have been better as a documentary.
