Very Rare Child Crime Movies in Early Hollywood

In the early days of Hollywood, there were extremely rare children's crime movies, and even religious metaphors such as demon possession and demon genetic inheritance. The degree of evil is comparable to "The Exorcist" 20 years later and "The Silence of the Lambs" 40 years later. I believe Americans with religious beliefs will shudder when they watch this film. The 8-year-old loli in the film combines cold-blooded cruelty, camouflage, cunning, and shamelessness~ But after all, it is a Hollywood film in the 1950s. In order to pass the censorship, the ending was treated as The mother attempted suicide, and Lola was struck by lightning and fell into the water on a wooden bridge, and for the sake of safety, the producer processed the final subtitles into the form of the actor's curtain call, and the last paragraph after that was even a warm scene of the mother spanking her daughter's buttocks and playing. The film tells the audience that what they just watched is not a movie but a "stage play"

    [Leroy grins in a perverted manner as he sits down on the lawn]

    Leroy Jessup: But that young trough-fed Mrs. Penmark?... She might get kinda lonely with that soldier-boy o' hers gone! Yes sir... she might. Now, that Rhoda... she's a smart one. Smarter than most of 'em, that's for sure! She sees through me... and I see through her! Swallow me a frog, but she's smart, huh?
