The Canadian television film Dulcima (1969) was based on the same novella, with the setting transferred to a small town in Ontario.[3]

Plot

The film stars Carol White as Dulcima, a carefree girl who begins working as housekeeper on a run-down Gloucestershire farm owned by the miserly Mr. Parker (John Mills). The farmer quickly becomes enamoured of the pretty and lively girl and invites her to live-in. They begin a sexual relationship, which becomes strained when he discovers her affections for a local gamekeeper.[4]

Cast
gollark: Now, rebuilding society will be much easier if your bunker also contains a giant manufacturing facility with everything needed to make at least late-20th-century tech. But that would need people to operate, so add those too, and also extra room and food and whatnot for them.
gollark: Ridiculous. Just make toilet paper out of trees directly.
gollark: And you need entertainment as well, so probably a few hundred terabytes of HDDs so you can store every movie you're ever likely to watch, with redundancy, and you might as well just store every scientific paper and book ever written to help rebuild society.
gollark: I guess you could install that too.
gollark: Also "defensive" lasers for "peaceful purposes only".
