Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Secrets was produced in 1982 for the British TV anthology series First Love. Anna Campbell-Jones plays a lonely 13-year-old girl who is about to be packed off to boarding school. Just before she leaves, she stumbles upon a packet of secret documents, revealing that her late father was a member of the Freemasons. Shortly afterward, her mother (Helen Lindsay) discovers a cache of condoms in her daughter's room. Mother and daughter confront each other, demanding explanations for what both have found. A slight but enjoyable piece, Secrets was released theatrically in the US by the Samuel Goldwyn Company in 1984.
