an idealistic doctor and paul henreid and be a counselor or something at a new prison for naughty young girl . no wall and but humane treatment that sort of thing . the fly in the ointment be the headmistress or foreman or whatever she be and the top sergeant and who run the place on a day to day basis . and what an old fashion meanie she be and groom like mrs. danvers or maybe the wife in american gothic . this movie be one of a spate that come out in the post war year deal with one or another social problem and often and a here and penology . among the others be the snake pit and sniper and gentleman agreement and crossfire and others whose title do not come to mind at the moment . this be a less example of the genre and but not entirely without interest . what make it interesting be that and though paul henreid and ingrid bergman husband in casablanca seven year earlier and be by now over the hill and reduce to b picture and the movie be full of those naughty young girl and include the 18 year old rita moreno and the 19 year old ann francis . they run around in their skivvy and get into fight and talk nasty and be cynical about everything and try to run away in other word and these luscious young beauty be just beg to be spank . that all they really need . they do not need an understanding headmaster and just a couple of whack . oh and not savage whack . not at all . rather and deeply care whack and whack of love and so to speak and not enough to hurt but just enough to warm . why do not paul henreid try that instead of this antiquated humanism . huh . i will bet he want to turn ann francis over his knee and that lanky and insinuate blond vixen and and teach her a lesson . you can see it in his face . the gentle smile can not mask the lascivious grin of the maniac underneath . come to think of it and if that do not work and why he could just have them spank him . they would be learn a trade too professional dominatrix . anyway and if he do not and he must be as crazy a the rest of this unimaginative movie . some of the shot be strike while in others the light alone could have be handle by an alert ten year old kid . but why go on . this movie be reformist in the same way that cecil b. demille early movie show a lot of nudity and just to make sure we know how sinful nudity be while or in the same way a one of those anti war picture that show u the brutality of combat before we inevitably win the battle . what hypocrisy .
