This 1961 teengenerate saga from the U.K. was originally released as Beat Girl to an immediately hostile press. David Farrar (Black Narcissus) is a respectable architect whose impetuous teenage daughter Jennifer (Gillian Hills from A Clockwork Orange) exploits her ex-stripper stepmother's past. Christopher Lee is a sleazy strip club owner with his eye on Jenny. Also with pop singer Adam Faith, Oliver (Curse Of The Werewolf) Reed, and Shirley Ann Field from Peeping Tom. Director Edmond T. Gréville followed up with a so-so remake of the silent horror classic The Hands Of Orlac, while the film's soundtrack composer, John Barry, would soon find fame scoring the James Bond series.
