blumdeluxe "Girl in Trouble" tells the story of a young girl, who, just before her long-planned wedding, decides to run away and explore the big world outside her town. Soon she must learn that this world is not a dream but full of crime, desire and rudity.It is hard to overlook what the film really wants to tell young women: Do not search your luck in one of the big cities, rather stay at home in the kitchen. Not a very progressive belief. On the other hand at least it is brave enough to not portray everyone in the otherwise omnipresent black and white scheme, rather we have a charming sex offender and a friendly and tough ex-stripper. Most of the plot is really predictable and won't amaze most Viewers, the only Thing I credit is the climax of the protagonist's unhappiness, which is depicted rather good in my opinion.All in all this is an at best average movie that tries to pass on a questionable morale and tries to keep traditional values high while leaving no Occasion out to Show the female lead in her undies. Nothing you couldn't miss but judge for yourself.

Leofwine_draca GIRL IN TROUBLE is another cheap 'sensation' quickie with much in common with the genre of films being made in the 1930s usually concerning innocent young women falling into the dark world of vice. In the middle of the 1960s, the genre was about to get a whole lot rougher and more explicit, but these early 1960s efforts feel like tame throwbacks to an earlier age.Sadly, this one in particular is devoid of interest and intent, simply shooting in a variety of locations while failing to tell much in the way of a story. It's immediately obvious that the film was shot silently with narration added afterwards, which doesn't really work all that well. The main character - played by non-actress Tammy Clarke - decides that she's had enough of small town life, so she decides to head off to the big city to seek fame and fortune. Big mistake.En route, Clarke grapples with various small time villains, such as would-be rapists and various men seeking to exploit her for her body. She winds up working as a stripper at a sleazy bar, but there's a twist ending of sorts. Unfortunately this ending is a big cop out and renders the whole thing a waste of time, and there's zero else here of interest to boot.

preppy-3 Judy Collins escapes from her home town--she's in love with local boy Johnny but doesn't want to marry him--yet. On the way to New Orleans she kills a man who tries to assault her. She gets there, tries to get a job and MORE men assault her. She finally ends up a stripper and one day Johnny walks into the club...This was given the 1963 equivalent of an X rating--no child under 16 was allowed in the theatre. Today it would be given a soft R mostly for some casual nudity. This seems to want to be taken seriously but the pointless nude shots and a violent rape make it clear what this really is--an exploitation picture. For that it's pretty well-made--well-directed and shot. The voice over narration is OK (if overdone) but the badly post-synced dialogue is obvious. Also pretty badly acted--only the one playing Mona showed any talent.If you're into early 60s exploitation you might like this. Otherwise, stay away.

shepardjessica This B/W film about a naive young woman moving to the big city is not half-bad for this type of stuff. The main actress is boringly realistic in her quest for a more exciting life. The first flop-house she goes to has has incredible wallpaper in the lobby. The character of Mona is very good and when she's wearing her wrinkled evening gown she looks like she's about to attend an Ed Wood premiere. THe entire film is post-dubbed and almost everyone wears wrinkled clothes.Some decent location shots and music and it's quite the morality tale with a nice closing shot. A 4 out of 10. Minor nudity with lots of bad hairstyles and big underwear. Not bad!
