    • Trivia
      Donna Wilkes was 23 years old when she played the 15-year-old high school student/prostitute.
    • Goofs
      During the final chase scene Molly/Angel is using a large caliber, long barreled revolver which should chamber a maximum of six shots. She fires six times during the chase. Then the gun is taken away from her a fired a seventh time. There is no indication Molly was carrying extra rounds, or stopped to reload if she had.
    • Quotes

      Mae: Give a man something to suck on and he's happy.

    • Alternate versions
      The version sometimes shown on commercial televison contains footage omitted from the theatrical release, most notably the epilogue sequence. In this scene, Lt. Andrews is driving Molly to his parents' house, where she'll now be living. Another scene that takes in the police station has Molly returning to Lt. Andrews' office to apologize for a rude remark ("You're just a damn cop!") she made earlier.

    An underrated gem.
    Wilkes is honer student by day at an expensive prep school, hooker by night. This movie was unfairly tossed and not given a chance. An underrated gem of a movie. The film is filled with colorful characters and fairly well done. Wilkes is very appealing as Molly/Angel. Seek this movie out. I gave it an 8/10.
