Little Miss Innocence (1973)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Above average sexploitation picture has the middle-aged Rick (John Alderman) picking up sexy hitchhikers Carol (Sandy Dempsey) and Judy (Terri Johnson). The older man gets his wish of having sex with the women but pretty soon his desire turns into a nightmare as the girls refuse to leave.
LITTLE MISS INNOCENCE is a film I hadn't heard about until after watching Eli Roth's KNOCK KNOCK. After viewing that movie I learned that it was a remake of DEATHGAME but it turns out that this film was yet an even earlier version. I must say that there are quite a few good things going in this film including plenty of nudity/sex but also some good performances by the three cast members.
In a sexploitation picture it's not common to praise the performances but I thought all three actors were extremely good in their roles and especially the two women. Dempsey easily steals the film as the more sexually experienced character who also appears to be hiding some secrets. Johnson is also very good in her role as the more innocent girl who sometimes doesn't realize what they're doing.
The film benefits from the fact that the two women are both beautiful and there is plenty of nudity throughout. The film is very well-made and features strong direction by Chris Warfield. There were some flaws with the picture including the fact that it does drag a bit even at just 72 minutes. Another problem are the scenes where the older man is complaining because he's getting too much sex!
