"What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?" is a 9-minute black-and-white film and I am 100% certain that pretty much nobody would have seen this by today if it wasn't for the legendary director and writer who is attached to it. Martin Scorsese made this film over 50 years ago at the age of 20. It was actually his second movie already, but the first one appears lost, at least for audiences. So yeah, what can i say about this one here. It's pretty spectacular how many genres Marty manages to fit into these 9 minutes: drama, comedy, music, fantasy, mystery, maybe a bit of horror. However, I must say that it was not exactly a great watch. This is perfectly fine as Scorsese was still very young here and the actors were all amateurs. None of them managed a career in the industry and actually only one of them ever appeared in a film again before or after that. Scorsese is a great director, no doubt, but here he was still learning. Not a good film. Thumbs down.
