Primrose Path

on BBC Two England

Starring Ginger Rogers Joel McCrea.

With a family like Ellie May's, it's no wonder she lies about them when romance enters her life. After all, dad's a drunk and ma's money comes from 'gentlemen friends'.
But the truth will out... Farce, comedy and drama combine in this fascinating portrait of small-town poverty.
