Controversial
'Lolita-esque' Debut Project for Linda Hayden
director: Alastair Reid
starring: Linda Hayden · Keith Barron · Ann Lynn · Troy Dante · Diana
Dors · Tessa Pearson
Linda
Hayden plays a libidinous 15 year old named Lucy who finds her harlot
mother dead from suicide. Lucy seizes the opportunity to move in with
mom's ex-lover, Robert Quayle and his family in their swank upper-class
British suburb. Robert is a successful doctor today and - perhaps due
to guilt over his long-ago affair with Lucy's mother - feels obligated
to provide a home to the girl. On the other hand, Lucy harbors hatred
for Robert and is determined to wreck havoc on the Quayle family by sexually
seducing dad, mom and son Nick.
This
was the controversial Lolitia-esque debut project for young Linda Hayden
(born Linda Higginson) who made a name for herself a few years later with
two back-to-back horror hits, Taste the Blood of Dracula
and BLOOD
ON SATAN'S CLAW. She followed those two films with a sleazy project,
BARCELONA
KILL, shot in Spain for director Jose Antonio De La Loma and then
the notorious EXPOSE.
Director Alastair
Reid took a break from his mountain of TV work to helm this project [based
on the novel by Tina Christian] in 1968. The film - which deliberately
challenged the standards of the establishment - was an obscenity test
case in the British courts. Eventually, it got released with many
edits. Here, now, is the fully uncut print. Regarding this director, Mr
Reid he returned to British television where he worked until retirement
age in 2002. Alastair Reid died from a stroke at age 72 in August 2011.
