Beat Girl (1959)
Director: Edmond T Gréville
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Hills is the resentful teenager, daughter of a middle class father remarried to a gorgeous 'woman with a past', who decides to rebel by playing juke-box records and mixing with Beatniks. Fascinating partly for the sheer prurience of its content and for Adam Faith's first film appearance.Author:
