Private Road is a 1971 British drama film directed and written by Barney Platts-Mills and starring Susan Penhaligon and Bruce Robinson. It was Platts-Mills second feature, following his debut Bronco Bullfrog (1970).
Production
Platts-Mills got the idea for the script from an F. Scott Fitzgerald story.
According to the BFI, the movie "was a conscious effort to fit with the more mainstream, commercial filmmaking model than Bronco was" and the filmmakers determined to release it themselves.
Shooting mostly took place in Notting Hill and Westbourne Grove. Filming was completed by October 1970.
