      william k Well-meant, above-average girls' penitentiary drama is low-budget and exploitative, but with a liberal streak for reform. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Blobbo appreciate chance to see teen girls Anne Francis, Rita Moreno. (Blobbo have secret crush on Altera.) Cheap movie go on 1/2 hour too long. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member "B" movie about social reform vs institutional bullying.

      Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The clumsily made melodrama, filled with banal dialogue and wooden acting, doesn't serve its progressive prison reform cause well. Rated: C Jan 29, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
