A Death of Innocence

I enjoy watching 1970s TV movies for the time capsules they are but also because most are so hokey and badly written they are unintentionally funny.

This film was well written and acted. The great Shelley Winters had few roles worthy of her talent at this stage of her career. This is one of them.

The only problem I had with the script was blaming the mother for not being more of a strict disciinarian. Nonsense. We are responsible for our own actions.
