Back in the "good ol' days up in der hills," a horny old man could get himself a child bride without the slightest worry..., that is until this flick came out and stirred up so much emotion with the public laws just had to be passed. Ummm, well, no, it really didn't have such an impact, but Child Bride has developed a cult following over the years for its attempt to have one as well as for its corny plot and poor acting. The tale involves two feuding men. One kills the other and then frames the deceased's wife, telling the woman he'll keep his mouth shut about her supposed murder of her husband if she consents to him marrying her twelve year old daughter, Jenny (Shirley Miles). The girl is against it yet feels she must accept to save her mother from prison. So, it is then up to the local teacher, who is on a vendetta to eliminate the tradition of child brides, and Jenny's jealous boyfriend (Bob Bollinger), roughly thirteen, to save the day. Can they pull it off before the "youngin'" is violated?!?! Give it thirty minutes and it becomes a lot of fun. Note: this is the uncut version of this film and includes the controversial (at least for its time) skinny-dipping scene.
