Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesOne of the juvenile delinquent inmates says she's restyling her hair to look like Doris Day--an in-joke reference to producer Martin Melcher's then-wife.
- GaffesWhen Cuckoo removes the wooden box with the baby from the car, nothing is on the sides of the box; when the girls are taking care of him in their room, the evaporated-milk brand name emblazons the box's sides and end panels.

Mrs. Nichols: Betsy Abel. Two months ago she had an illegitimate baby, a baby boy, who is now in the custody of her mother. Her mother's boyfriend is a taxi driver with a police record. The girl won't tell who the father is; so, we have another inmate. She's assigned to your cottage. Well, I suppose we better look the little criminal over.

Limbo
Susan Oliver's movie debut has her in a reform school, where the Jean Inness character is convinced that she and the other women in charge are just going through the motions, while Sally Brophy thinks they have to do something to save these young women. Meanwhile, we watch the young women in a script that pitches itself halfway between MADCHEN IN UNIFORM and LADY IN A CAGE, but without any sexuality or overt violence.
The script by Dalton Trumbo and Sally Stubblefield (who had worked in a reform school) makes the point that the inmates are still essentially children, even if they are hiding and caring for one of their babies. There's something unengaged about the performances, that distance the real issues. That may be deliberate, intended to reflect that the young women do not view the reform school as more than a waiting time, and they will re-enter the world with no change. If so, that makes this a tragedy, but it also means that there is no change, and hence no story.
