Here's a film which has been marketed as a sensation film complete with exploitative taglines and the like ("The sex scandal that rocked the world!"). The end result is something different entirely, a rather sedate character drama about a doctor who falls in love with one of his clients, a put-upon playgirl. The story plays out in New York but the production is so cheap that the majority of the tale is filmed in just a couple of bedrooms.
The only part of this film that could be described as shocking is the opening sequence in which the main character is sexually attacked by her own stepfather. You don't see anything, of course, not in the early 1960s, but the implication is still enough. Later the film becomes a traditional romance, with a few scenes of characters in bed. There are even some loan sharks and gangsters lower down in the cast list. It's a dialogue-heavy production that offers very little in the way of entertainment value and is nothing more than a typical low budget tale.
