Trending Position
Unusually frank problem picture, and more remarkably, it is a British picture effectively set in New York. Mitchell anchors the picture as the judge presiding over the case of a 15-year-old girl who has been having sex with a middle-aged man. The sordid case involves abortion and syphilis, as well a ... s true love. Although marketed as an exploitation picture, it is thoughtful and sincerely made by veteran Muriel Box, and elevated by one of Mitchell's last perfomances.
