En route to finding her fortune in New Orleans, our sweetheart kills a man in self-defense, is spied upon by an evil lecher and ultimately becomes a stripper and addict. It seems that she was a nice girl from farm country but longed for the excitement of the big city. It shows an ambulance crew taking away a woman to the hospital and then she begins narrating-doing a voice over description of her lurid tale from start to finish. When the film begins, it appears as if the film was shot using either a Super 8mm or 16mm camera-and a cheap one at that. So, if you are looking crazy over the top scenes like you'd see in 'Sex Madness' or 'Reefer Madness', you might be a bit disappointed. However, when it comes to bad taste and crappy stories, 'Girl in Trouble' is a bit lacking-as it's amazingly slow and tame for this genre. Bad acting, bad direction and terrible stories are pretty much the norm and bad movie fans enjoy the heck out of these flicks. Because of this, the older ones are terribly entertaining, as their stories about good boys and girls gone bad are downright hilarious because they are anything but subtle. Even worse is the fact that scenes just drag on without much of a point.Įxploitation films were meant to titillate and push the boundaries of good taste. The performances are all pretty bland as you'd expect and there's just nothing entertaining here. The film is a real drag from start to finish, although there are some campy moments that get some laughs. 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.

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. The film was shot silent and we have the typical awful narration that gets us from one scene to the next. GIRL IN TROUBLE is the type of exploitation film you'd expect from this era. From here things only get worse for Judy as she falls in with a bunch of perverts. On the way to her dream Judy hitches a ride where the man eventually tries to rape her, which leads her to killing him. 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.
