Pretty Baby
Dir: Louis Malle
Star: Susan Sarandon, Brooke Shields, Keith Carradine, Antonio Fargas
[3] The good news is, this has Brooke
Shields 'getting her kit off'. The bad news is, er, she was eleven
when she made it. Distinctly unnerving experience, seeing an
undoubtedly beautiful (I stress, in an aesthetic sense) pre-teenager
playing a New Orleans hooker, whose virginity is auctioned
off for $400. Fortunately, it's shot unleeringly (though that
didn't prevent problems with the censor) and a good supporting cast
(Fargas and Barbara Steele) make it a film that is both worthy and justifiable.
