I watched half of this film on TV and can’t work out what it was called. I’m pretty sure it was made in the 1950s - about someone who turns up to a new town, there’s a town fair/fun event of some kind, a female character who’s drunk/possible alcoholic, a younger female character, a scene involving a lake (either a drowning/someone falls in the water).
I’ve looked through all the famous melodramas of the era and just can’t find this film. I just want to watch the whole thing as I was really enjoying it!
That's it! Thank you so, so much - I've been thinking about this film for about a year now. It's definitely this film
