Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Age of Consent is a 1969 romantic comedy-drama film directed by Michael Powell.Bradley Morahan (James Mason) is an artist whose sculptures and paintings are selling quite nicely in New York, but who feels he has lost his creative spark. In an effort to find inspiration again, he goes back home to Australia, renting out a dilapidated cabin by the beach on a remote island.He finds inspiration in the person of Cora, a shockingly gorgeous teenage girl played by 22-year-old Helen Mirren. Cora, an orphan in the care of an awful monstrous alcoholic grandma, longs to escape the island and move to Brisbane where she can become a hairdresser. Bradley and Cora start to form a bond as he paints her, but "Ma Ryan" (Neva Carr Glynn), her horror of a grandmother, threatens to ruin everything.Powell's last theatrical feature, and Mirren's first starring role. Based on a semi-autobiographical novel by Norman Lindsay, whose life also inspired another movie about artists and sexy models, Sirens.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

The Alcoholic: Awful, awful Ma Ryan. There's a pile of empty gin bottles outside her shack. She's constantly swigging from a bottle. Cora notes that the last time Ma went to town she was arrested for public intoxication.

Bait-and-Switch: Ned the comic relief character is talking about how he had sex with the wife of his banker. The husband comes home and catches them. Ned says "Do you know what he did, the jealous bastard? He cut it off." (Beat) "My overdraft." (The line of credit at his bank, that is.)

Adaptational Wealth: Bradley is significantly more solvent in the film than he was in the novel. In the book he was struggling to make ends meet. In the film his art is selling well, he's just not having fun making it anymore.

Abusive Parents: Abusive grandparent, in the form of Ma Ryan. When she catches a naked Cora in the shack trying on lipstick, she whacks her on the back with her cane.
