Road to Ruin, The (1934)

** (out of 4)

A good girl that never even been kissed falls in with the wrong crowd and soon she's staying out past eight, smoking drinking and eventually..........building suspense .....having sex. Soon she starts seeing a local thug who gets her pregnant and then forces her to have an abortion. Will she straighten up in time? **suspense builds even more** Here's another forgotten exploitation film that isn't too bad but even its short 62-minute running time seems a tad bit long. The over-dramatic ending gets a few laughs but for the most part the film plays rather straight, which means we don't get any major laughs like other films from its genre.
