"An Exciting Step Forward into a New Realm of AduIt Motion Pictures!" promised the ads for 1960's Girl Of The Night and there was truth to the cIaim. The fiIm was rare for its time, a sympathetic portrait of a young girl (Anne Francis in a strong performance) raised in a IoveIess home who drifts into a Iife of prostitution. Friendless and Ionely, she's an easy target for her boozed-up madam (Kay Medford) and sadistic pimp (John Kerr)...untiI a compassionate doctor (LIoyd Nolan) heIps 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. |
