This movie is awful, 20 February 2002
Author: Inthegoodlife from Jacksonville, FL

This is one of the least enjoyable movies I've ever seen. The plot is about a street tough girl played by Mamie Van Doren who is placed in a type of Catholic reform school. The movie features several unattractive singers in roles where they're supposed to be attractive and preaches a self-righteous, street tough Catholicism that's as lame as it gets. Forget about this one unless you feel like laughing at Mel Torme as a gang leader.
