Pretty Baby (1978)
Country: US
Technical: Metrocolor 109m
Director: Louis Malle
Cast: Keith Carradine, Susan Sarandon, Brooke Shields, Francis Faye, Antonio Fargas
Synopsis:
A photographer specializes in shooting girls in a New Orleans brothel in the 1910s, and falls under the spell of the twelve year-old daughter of one of them.
Review:
Dramatically thin but wonderfully evocative of its period, this film gained some notoriety in its use of the very young Brooke Shields as an object of sexual desire, but is very careful about what it shows her doing. It recalls Renoir's films at times, though it does drag between the high spots.
