Review of Girls Town

Girls Town (1959)
5/10
A Little Corny but Okay for the Time Spent
3 November 2015
This movie begins with a young woman trying to run away from a man who is trying to rape her. A fight ensues and the man accidentally falls off a cliff to his death. Not long afterward a young woman named "Silver Morgan" (Mamie Van Doren) is linked to the man's death and is remanded to a Catholic school for girls pending sufficient evidence needed for a murder conviction. Although Silver protests her innocence her wild behavior and rebellious attitude prove to be a negative factor against her and soon she begins to get in even more trouble. Meanwhile, her little sister, "Mary Lee Morgan" (Elinor Donahue) discovers that life without Silver to protect her is quite difficult as well. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that although this film was more than a little corny it still wasn't too bad for the most part with the gorgeous Mamie Van Doren clearly dominating each and every scene she was in. That said, even though this movie was clearly dated I still thought it was okay for the time spent and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
