The beginning of this film from the seventies is quite rough. It begins with a woman giving birth in a remote brothel in New Orleans at times when shootouts were still a common occurrence in the desert towns of the Wild West just a few hundred miles away. This follows with a brutally gloomy and sad story of one little girl who spent her whole life in this brothel, so her perception of reality is incredibly twisted. The only thing this movie has to offer is a great acting performance by Brooke Shield, who has really lived through the story with her character.
