Given the heavy censorship in force when this movie was being filmed, one only wonders what might have been the final result had the director been allowed to follow the book's original premise. Evell and Monroe make the best of it; Monroe sizzles and dominates each scene with her artful blend of wide-eyed innocence and street smarts.
