Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Michael_Elliott Girl in Trouble (1963) * (out of 4) Judy Collins (Tammy Clarke) is just a small town girl who has dreams of heading into the big city and making it big. On the way to her dream Judy hitches a ride where the man eventually tries to rape her, which leads her to killing him. From here things only get worse for Judy as she falls in with a bunch of perverts.GIRL IN TROUBLE is the type of exploitation film you'd expect from this era. The film was shot silent and we have the typical awful narration that gets us from one scene to the next. Once again I must say that I feel really bad for people of this era who had to sit through movies like this one in hopes of getting some sort of nudity.There are all sorts of problems with this one including the fact that there's about fifteen minutes worth of "story" here and it's pushed out to 81 minutes. The film is a real drag from start to finish, although there are some campy moments that get some laughs. The performances are all pretty bland as you'd expect and there's just nothing entertaining here. Even worse is the fact that scenes just drag on without much of a point.

gamera64 The story of the world's most naive blond. Stupid Judy runs away from home to the big city of New Orleans. A sleazy guy gives her a ride and then attempts to rape her. She almost kills him by bonking him in the head with a big rock. From there she steals the car and proceeds with no real plan except getting away from her shitty hometown. This doesn't go very well for Judy. She runs into a lot of creepy guys along the way. Finally she meets Mona, the sorta motherly figure who seems to be quite the party gal as well. Mona isn't a very good influence on Judy. She gets her a crappy job where Judy ends up getting raped, then as some sort of strange therapy gets her another job being an old-timey stripper and ultimately gives her some pills which she promptly O.D.'s on. The movie really should have been all about Mona. She was a hoot and I felt like she would be lots more fun to hang out with. All in all I found the movie O.K. even though it dragged big time in many spots. You get a little nudity and minimal blood.

Punchinello This quickie exploitation pic tries too hard to be legit and tell the story of a small town girl trying to bust into the big city. As a look at USA circa 1963, it's interesting, but as an exploitation pic, it's a bore. Too little story too coy in the telling make this one of the few genuinely boring Something Weird Video releases. The opening makes the claim that it is a true story; and, as dull as it is, that's very believable. The strippers don't even strip.To its credit, the leading lady is a genuinely good actress, whose narration, while used too much, is quite well done. She's also very good looking (if you don't mind a bouffant) and gets topless a few times, but it goes nowhere.Poor Judy runs away from home and quickly gets pawed by a motorist and spied on by a hotel manager. The descent into decadence that follows is painfully slow and prudish. The real 1960s had to swing a lot more than this. Judy claims to be pretty smart, but she's shocked that a man who has requested a girl to model lingerie in his hotel room would try to have sex with her.Poor, dull Johnny walks the streets in hopes of finding her, and eventually does, with moralistic disappointment. On the other hand, I loved the character of Mona. She was like the Bad Advice Fairy. You say a man tried to rape you? Hey, why not become a stripper?

preppy-3 Judy Collins escapes from her home town--she's in love with local boy Johnny but doesn't want to marry him--yet. On the way to New Orleans she kills a man who tries to assault her. She gets there, tries to get a job and MORE men assault her. She finally ends up a stripper and one day Johnny walks into the club...This was given the 1963 equivalent of an X rating--no child under 16 was allowed in the theatre. Today it would be given a soft R mostly for some casual nudity. This seems to want to be taken seriously but the pointless nude shots and a violent rape make it clear what this really is--an exploitation picture. For that it's pretty well-made--well-directed and shot. The voice over narration is OK (if overdone) but the badly post-synced dialogue is obvious. Also pretty badly acted--only the one playing Mona showed any talent.If you're into early 60s exploitation you might like this. Otherwise, stay away.
