- Synopsis
- The inspiration for Malle’s first American film was E. J. Bellocq’s remarkable photographic record of New Orleans’ red-light district, Storyville, in the early years of the twentieth century. A fourteen-year-old (Shields) is cheer-fully sold into the trade by her mother (Sarandon) and becomes involved with Bellocq himself (Carradine), who finds her a compelling subject of erotic and aesthetic interest.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Dull and lifeless."
-
"The most imaginative, most intelligent, and most original film of the year"
-
"As in all of his movies, Malle exhibits in Pretty Baby his characteristically detached, skeptical, lucid, moral — not moralistic — attitude toward life."
