Mujeres olvidadas

Judy (Louise Platt) is a nice young lady who lives with her step-mother. There is a big problem, however....her step-mother's boyfriend (Jack LaRue) is evil and won't keep his hands off Judy. Eventually, he even tries to assault her and she fights back...knocking him out cold. However, she doesn't realize that AFTER this happened, the step-mother found him and finished him off once and for all! And, it turns out the step is NOT a nice person...and she lets her step-daughter take the rap for a murder she didn't commit! What's next for poor Judy?! It can't possibly get any worse...can it?!

Because this movie was made during the era of the tough Production Code, so much in the story isn't said because of the restrictions of the code. Not once is rape or sexual assault mentioned....and it clearly IS why Judy had to fight off her attacker. And, oddly, no mention or allusion to this is made in her defense in court...and it clearly would make the killing (had she actually done it) justified.

While there are some familiar story elements and it's an inexpensive B-movie, this does not mean it's poor in any way. Decent acting, a taut script and decent direction make this a nice example for those who want to show that Bs could be quite good. Worth your time....and enjoyable.
