Dove Review

This film was probably considered scandalous for its time. Carrie (Jennifer Jones) leaves her parents and siter behind to move to the city, and she soon loses her innocence. A man named Charlie (Eddie Albert) falls for her and they live together after Carrie is fired from her sewing job following an accident in which she catches her finger in a machine and hurts it. Soon a married man (Olivier) falls for her and she falls for him, not realizing he is married. He divorces his wife to marry Carrie but this does not have a happy-ever-after ending.

Due to the content area in the sex category, we are unable to award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this film.
