For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Admirable film.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Even by the standards of the genre, The Girl With the Hungry Eyes is thin gruel indeed. Adele Rein plays Kitty, a sweet young thing who's been seduced by a predatory lesbian (was there any other kind in the pre-Stonewall era?) named Tigercat (Cathy Crowfoot). Deep down, Kitty is an All-American heterosexual gal, as we see in the film's first set piece, where she engages in a roll in the grass with a lucky motorist named Tom. After Tigercat kills Tom in a fit of jealousy, Kitty begins to question her sexual identity, and after meeting a handsome young chap (played, of course, by director-writer-editor-jack of all trades William Rotsler) reasserts her femininity via a series of incredibly boring and unsexy petting scenes. The film doesn't even include a single lesbian sex scene--the most we get is a still of the two leading ladies in bed--and is determinedly conservative in every aspect of its storytelling. If not for a few good scenes on the 101-Barham Blvd. interchange and a very cute Corvette, this would get no more than a '1' on IMDb's rating scale.
