Beat Girl (released as Wild For Kicks) is a 1960 film about a disaffected teenager who hates her stepmother and gets involved with morally suspect beats and a shady striptease bar owner (played by horror maaestro Christopher Lee of all people). Half cautionary tale and half voyeuristic fable, the striptease scenes meant that this film was given an X rating. Things start to go downhill when Beat Girl find out about her stepmother's sordid past...
I'd like to be like this - effortless hepcat cool, dishevelled beehive, spasmodic dancing. Oh well, one out of three ain't bad.
