Paul Temple: Steal a Little Happiness

BBC One
on BBC One London

by Bill Strutton
Created by Francis Durbridge
Starring Francis Matthews as Paul
with Ros Drinkwater as Steve

Paul and Steve pick up a hitch-hiking street urchin called Gina outside Milan and soon discover the pressures poverty brings to bear on the young.
In an attempt to help the girl, Paul uncovers a relationship between Gina and Ettore, a helpless old man, that is based on need rather than on cupidity.
