TONY'S COMMENTS : Mamie Van Doren plays Silver Morgan a rebellious girl who becomes a suspect in an accidental death. She is sent to "Girls Town", a correctional facility for women that is run by nuns. This cult film is an unusual but unique motion picture. It is 50's nostalgia at its campiest & even features Paul Anka singing "Ave Maria". "Girls Town" is certainly a teen movie with a difference & a must see for Mamie fans.
