Top Floor Girl is a 1959 British drama film directed by Max Varnel and starring Kay Callard, Neil Hallett and Robert Raikes. [1] It was written by Brian Clemens and Eldon Howard and produced by The Danzigers.
A ruthlessly ambitious woman becomes involved with the son of a wealthy man, but begins to have regrets about abandoning her previous lover.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A naive and artificial magazine romance with a comforting moral, capable enough on its own level. Kay Callard plays what is almost a solo piece with suitable efficiency, and there is an amusing character sketch by Elizabeth Fraser as a dim typist." [2]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "The old, old story – on a budget." [3]
