A high school boy falls for a prostitute he has met on the notorious "Rue Des Patures".
Acting
Maurice Sarfati's sweating, trembling teenage desperation.
Production
Gritty location shooting on actual Paris streets of ill repute.
Director
Jean Gourguet
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Jean Gourguet was a prolific B-movie maker who shot this in nine days on a shoestring budget, yet somehow got genuine Paris locations.
The film's French title 'La P... sentimentale' uses an ellipsis to bypass censorship—literally too scandalous to spell out in 1958.
