Although made in the late 1950’s this movie still stands the test of time. The acting and aesthetic is very retro, but is authentic enough to make it enjoyable. The role of the female lead and her portrayal of it is good enough to carry the whole movie. I imagine that the subject matter was quite controversial for its time, and despite the lack of nudity still feels compelling today.

If you’re looking for a graphically sexual movie, then this is not it. If your looking for a glimpse into the past with a dramatic scandal that is entertaining and enjoyable, then it’s worth the less than hour and a half to watch.
