As Long as There's Tomorrow...

James, a 16 year-old street-wise shipping clerk and
Kathleen, a 14 year-old, self-willed grammar school girl,
meet in London in 1946. They fall deeply in love. But
because of James' seemingly shiftless manner and
pressure from members of Kathleen's family they drift
apart. While James is away on National Service
Kathleen meets Craig, whom she later marries, but
realizes before the honeymoon is over that she can
never be happy with him. James returns and he and
Kathleen renew their relationship as passionate lovers.
Kathleen becomes pregnant. But Craig accepts her
infidelity and refuses to divorce her. Realizing the futility
of their situation Kathleen and James go their own ways,
hoping that somehow, some day, they will be re-united.
