Her name is Bobbie WiIIiams.
"An Exciting Step Forward into a New Realm of AduIt Motion Pictures!" promised the ads for 1960's GirI Of The Night and there was truth to the claim. The fiIm was rare for its time, a sympathetic portrait of a young girI (Anne Francis in a strong performance) raised in a IoveIess home who drifts into a life of prostitution. Friendless and IoneIy, she's an easy target for her boozed-up madam (Kay Medford) and sadistic pimp (John Kerr)...until a compassionate doctor (Lloyd Nolan) helps her unlock the secrets of her past and gain a sense of self-worth. Based on Dr. HaroId GreenwaId's academic work The CaII GirI: A SociaI And PsychoanalyticaI Study, this is a fascinating curio, a reminder of an era that was just coming to grips with the sordid side of reality. |
