The Killing of Sister George
The Killing of Sister George is a 1964 stage play
by Frank Marcus. It was adapted into a 1968 film, starring Beryl
Reid. It is mainly noted for its treatment of lesbianism. Both stage
and film versions are fairly well known.
The central character is a female actor who plays a nurse, Sister
George, in a long-running BBC radio series. She shares a house with
a younger, somewhat immature woman, Childie; their relationship
contains curious elements of psychological sado-masochism.
George discovers that there are plans to kill off her character
in the radio series.
Although it is strongly implied that George and Childie are lesbians,
as is a third woman who appears, this is never explicitly stated.
The author intended the play as a farce, not a serious treatment
of lesbianism, but because there was so little material about lesbians
at the time it became regarded as such.
The film version was a fairly faithful adaptation. It starred Beryl
Reid as George and Susannah York as Childie, and was directed by
Robert Aldrich.
Basically: Young girl, plays with
dolls, is exploited in many various ways by adult lesbians.


Lolita
Lolita is a novel by Vladimir Nabokov, first published
in 1955. The novel is both famous for its innovative style and infamous
for its controversial subject: the book's narrator and main character
Humbert Humbert becomes sexually obsessed with a pubescent girl.
The novel was adapted to film twice, once in 1962 by Stanley Kubrick
(Nabokov was involved in the writing) and again in 1997 by Adrian
Lyne.
A scholar in his late thirties, Humbert leaves Europe for the United
States and moves into a rented room in the home of Charlotte Haze,
after seeing her twelve-year-old daughter Dolores (whom her mother
affectionately calls "Lo") sunbathing in the garden. Humbert,
who has had a lifelong passion for "nymphets" (sexually
alluring pubescent girls) - as a pre-adolescent, he experienced
the loss of his childhood sweetheart to typhus - is instantly smitten,
and will do anything to be near her. He immediately dubs the girl
with the romantic nickname "Lolita," although he is the
only character in the book to call her this (her friends and teachers
refer to her as "Dolly").
Humbert picks Lolita up from camp and begins traveling around the
United States, from one motel to another. The two become involved
sexually, and they settle down together in a town, with Humbert
posing as Lolita's father. Humbert becomes convinced that Lolita
is seeing someone else, so they go on the road again, and he is
sure that they are being followed. He is right: playwright Clare
Quilty, an acquaintance of the Hazes, who first seduced Lolita at
camp when she was twelve and used her in pornographic films, is
tailing the couple. Lo now runs away with Quilty, while Humbert
remains unaware of his identity.
He coerces Lolita into revealing the name of the mystery man. He
tracks down Quilty and kills him, then dies in prison of coronary
thrombosis. Lolita dies in childbirth.
Basically: Young girl of 12 seduces
middle aged man and ruins his life because he can not satisfy her..

Bastard Out of Carolina is a 1996 film directed
by Anjelica Huston. It is based on a novel by Dorothy Allison and

poor, sexually molested, brutally raped 10 year old girl.
In 1997, the theatrical and video releases of the film were banned
by Canada's Maritime Film Classification Board. Ted Turner refused
to release it. The video was eventually granted release upon appeal.
No nudity, no implied nudity
Basically: Young girl, plays with
dolls, is raped by her step-father while they wait in the car for
her mother to give birth. From then on out step father beats and
rapes her when ever he feels low and depressed. She remains silent
until one of his attacks nearly kills her.


Taxi Driver
Taxi Driver is a 1976 American motion picture drama
directed by Martin Scorsese. It is widely considered one of the
greatest and most controversial films in the history of American
cinema and frequently praised for its strong performances and gritty
realism. The film also made stars out of both its lead actors, Robert
De Niro and Jodie Foster, the latter of whom was only thirteen years
old when the movie was released.
Foster plays a 12 and a half year old prostitute. There is no nudity,
no implied nudity.

Splendor in the Grass
Splendor in the Grass, an American movie from 1961,
tells a story of sexual repression. Written by William Inge, who
appears briefly as a Christian minister, the film was directed by
Elia Kazan.
Deanie Loomis (played by Natalie Wood), a teen-aged girl living
in a small town in Kansas in 1928, follows her mother's advice to
resist her desire for sex with her boyfriend, Bud Stamper (Warren
Beatty), the scion of the most prosperous family in town. In his
turn, Bud reluctantly follows the advice of his father (Pat Hingle),
who suggests that he find another kind of girl with whom to exercise
his sexual desires.
Bud's parents are disappointed by, and ashamed of, his older sister—she
is sexually promiscuous, smokes, drinks, and has had an abortion—and
accordingly 'pin all their hopes' on Bud.
As the story progresses, Deanie is driven close to madness and institutionalized.
Bud's family loses its fortune in the Great Depression, which leads
to the father's suicide; and Bud takes up farming, which he had
postponed because of his father's aspirations for him.
In the final scene, Deanie, home from the sanitorium after two and
a half years, goes to meet Bud. He is now married to the daughter
of Italian immigrants; he and his wife, whom he met while complying
with his father's desire that he attend Yale University, have an
infant child. After their brief reunion, Deanie and Bud see that
they must continue their lives separately.
Bascially: Teenaged girl goes crazy
because she holds onto her virtue.


Pretty Baby
Pretty Baby is a 1978 historical fiction dramatic
film directed by Louis Malle. The screenplay was written by Polly
Platt. The title is inspired by the Tony Jackson song "Pretty
Baby", which is used in the soundtrack.In 1917, the last months
of legal prostitution in Storyville, the red-light district of New
Orleans, Louisiana. Hattie, a prostitute at the elegant home of
Madame Nell, and her 12-year-old daughter Violet are the only ones
awake when photographer Ernest J. Bellocq comes by with his camera.
He takes photographs of Hattie, and fascinates Violet. Over the
next few months, Nell arranges for the auction of Violet's virginity,
Hattie marries and goes to St. Louis leaving Violet behind, and
Violet determines to marry Bellocq. Is this idyllic or is she just
a girl wearing rouge, soon to return to childhood?
Controversy
* In addition to the subject of child prostitution, some ire was
raised because of scenes involving a 12-year-old Brooke Shields
appearing nude. Because of this, the 109 minute film was edited
down to 106 minutes in some releases. The unedited version of the
film is now available on DVD, but there is controversy amongst its
fans because of differences in film dimensions, leading some people
to believe that the film was either incorrectly matted or the victim
of false letterboxing.
* Susan Sarandon provided a g-string for Brooke Shields to wear
in most of her nude scenes so she would not have to be totally nude.
Basically: Child grows up in whorehouse,
becomes part of the environment. Rescued by sensitive artist who
marries her at the age of 12 and like Humbert Humbert fails to satisfy
her.

Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon is a 1980 American romance and adventure
film starring Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins, produced and
directed by Randal Kleiser. The plot is about two young children
stranded on a tropical island after a shipwreck. Emotional feelings
and physical changes arise as they reach puberty and fall in love.
The screenplay by Douglas Day Stewart was based on the novel The
Blue Lagoon by Henry De Vere Stacpoole. The original music score
was composed by Basil Poledouris. The film was marketed with the
tagline "A sensuous story of natural love."
In the Victorian period, two young children are the survivors of
a shipwreck.
Richard and Emmeline begin to fall in love, although this is emotionally
stressful for them due to their general ignorance of human sexuality.
Both teens' bodies mature and develop, and they are physically attracted
to each other, but do not know how to express it. Emmeline is shown
beginning her first menstrual period and being very frightened at
first. Richard has many questions about what is happening to them,
but has no answers; he wants to hold and kiss Emmeline, but when
she rejects him he goes off alone and masturbates. Meanwhile, ever-curious
Emmeline has wandered to the forbidden side of the island and discovered
an impressive, Kon-Tiki-like idol there. Its shrine is covered with
blood. Instinctively recognizing that this is a holy place, she
kneels and prays.
Ultimately, after making up after a fight, they discover sexual
intercourse. From then on, they make love quite often for several
months, and eventually Emmeline gets pregnant. Although the audience
is fully aware of Emmeline's condition, Richard and Emmeline themselves
have no knowledge of childbirth and don't understand the physical
changes to Emmeline's body.
Basically: Young girl, plays with
dolls, grows up to become pregnant by her brother (not really her
brother but seems to be). They die.
