I may not be qualified to review this title, as I only made it through the first ten minutes. Yet in that time, I saw the heroine being humiliated by a man who supposedly cared for her and then raped at knifepoint.
Granted, I didn't go in expecting The Color Purple. Yet I was expecting an intelligent adult film, not a horror movie. And while I'm definitely not a censorship maven (indeed, I work for an adult magazine),I really wish that filmmakers would stop confusing rape with sex.
No offense to Candida Royalle and John Leslie, both of whom I adore. I'm just glad they've bone gone on to bigger (and better) things. This movie, for its part, needs to go in the trash.

Awful
A Great! Porn Movie
I think it was an excellent movie for the time that was made and the characters have some depth,I don't know why some of the reviews on this movie were so harsh, I think the main female character has love and trust issues because of having been abandoned by here father,so she will not connect with her boy friend,but it is easy for her to connect with someone who doesn't love her,and her boy friend loves her so much, even after he is rejected by her through the years ,that he uses a lady of the evening as a substitute for her.And I will admit I did not understand the ending,but this movie is what a porn movies should be,good acting,and a storyline and sex.
Perhaps The Best Porn Film Of All Time!
This movie is slightly haunting and very nostalgic. Director Harold Perkins takes you into the life of a sexually suppressed young woman played by Sharon Thorpe. This may be a shocker to hear me say, but Sharon looks absolutely beautiful in this one! Her character is sweet and very innocent. I remember Sharon doing at least five scenes including being the object of desire in the midst of a giant orgy-- ending with all the male actors getting off in her face. Her look of disgust is award winning! John Leslie does a scene with Leslie Bovee, and I remember a lesbian 3-way featuring Candida Royale. She in later years went on to direct videos for couples! I Don't even know if this film is available on DVD. If so it would have been edited for time, inasmuch as all the old essex releases have been re-cut. But I do remember making a beta (video cassette) copy in 1985 and watching it over 50 times! If indeed it is available on disc, I certainly would not recommend viewing it. "Small Town Girls" was a lesson to me about how the 80's films have deteriorated. I would not be able to handle viewing this one in that way. Try to find it on an old beta or VHS rental to see this masterpiece as it was intended to be!
